Nov 8th, 2018 : Jerry Garcia Portrait

[xoxoxoBruce]

Craig Alan is an artist from Atlanta who paints portraits that are composites like this one of Jerry Garcia.

American artist Craig Alan is famous for creating pieces that are more than your average portrait. He creates unique depictions of pop-culture icons whose visage, at first glance, appears to be composed of tiny pixels. However, if you take a closer look, you will realize that they are made of dozens, sometimes hundreds of intricately painted exquisite figures.

Alan carefully plans his portraits and spends copious amounts of time creating each tiny figure. Each character has their own identity and personality which he has thought through to the smallest detail – all with microscopic clothes, faces, and shadows..

Itty bitty brushes and a steady hand.
