Does your carpet match your Draper?

Okay, I know I have been negligent of my blog as of late. But for those of you who are fans of me and the show MadMen here is a little Don Draper tribute. Trying to draw more celebrities and build up a portfolio to send to potential editorial illustration jobs. Enjoy!

5 of 40: Katy Perry

Had to go to class today so this had to wait until I got home.  I will say I looked at one video of her performing "Wide Awake," which this is supposed to represent, at some musical awards show and got this idea from her performance. Doesn't look anything like her but I will say it pleasantly reminds me of vintage alcohol posters. To be on time I need to publish this by midnight so I will spend very little time on the post. Night!

4 of 40: Fun. & Janelle Monae

"We are Young." I love this song and actually it has fallen one slot to Katy Perry's, "Wide Awake," since I drew this last night. Nate Ruess is the lead vocals for Fun. and Janelle Monae adds a beautiful etherial melody to this anthem for todays youth. I thought if I completely ignore the other members of Fun. for simplicity sake, Nate and Janelle are equally at the heart of why I enjoy this song. So they share center (1/2 and 1/2) stage in my drawing. The picture is a bit freakish together but if you cover one side of the screen then the other, you actually can get a good sense of their likenesses. 

3 of 40: Adam Levine and Wiz Khalifa

You can deny the catchiness of this song but why bother.  I know this is just another case of two musicians cashing in on the success of each other but does that really matter when I am singing their high falsetto hooks at the top of my lungs in the shower? Sadly, the answer is no. I am pretty happy with the two likenesses here, granted Levine kinda looks like an anime character, but the tattoos are pretty fun and I believe respectable facsimiles of the real things.  The song is called "Payphone" so I totally stretched my imagination an placed them in a phone booth, BRILLIANT! I gotta work on being more creative with my ideas and these solid-ish background although easy and speedy to do are gonna get old real fast. Thanks for reading!
