the eyes have it

I've uploaded a couple of spreads from a personal project I've been working – a book about actors with distinctive eyes. Check out the pages at:

rock'n'roll portraits

...and here's the complete set. Overall, I'm fairly happy with the results, though I think one or two of the images need to be recoloured. The pastel shades I used in the background were slowly abandoned for more vivid colours and some of the early portraits I made don't look so good alongside the more recent drawings. I'm thinking about getting them printed up as larger individual prints or as a set of postcards, each with a short biography on the back. I've also made a series of full-figure drawings of some of the people depicted above but I'm not entirely sure what I want to do with them yet. It may be that these are formatted in a similar way to the soul stars I drew last year
