The person who commissioned to do this portrait was collecting as many drawings of himself as he could. I decided to go for a more thematic approach, using visual metaphores to represent the personality of someone who would want to collect drawings of himself.
I enjoy using details and settings as visual metaphors for representing aspects of a subject’s personality. A series of iconic portraits such as this with a common visual theme would be an interesting way to represent a team of people in a publication, like the development team of a video game or the staff of a magazine.
