Portrait of RAY CHARLES

This is simply an example of "Graphic Art" as a collage portrait of one of my favorite heroes, the one and only Mr. Ray Charles, whose hand I touched once. This portrait won two cash awards for me as a senior in High School. |

This graphic (sketch) I created in Macromedia Freehand to illustrate a mural during the planning stage: the 'Banana Leaves Mural' - all in taupe shades - for Simon's hallway. I worked with his interior designer, Gaye Blair on this project, whose design ideas are fabulous.

The client's wall color is somewhere in this range: |
