Elwood Blues
And finally here's Elwood Blues, played by Dan Aykroyd. Again, black and white and simple shapes. But, unlike with Jake, I've wasted the...
“Joliet” Jake Blues
OK, the secret's out. After finding Blues Brothers on some satellite channel late at night twice last week, I had to get the band back together....
Alan “Mr. Fabulous” Rubin
Nearly there now. My horn section won't be complete without a trumpeter, so I'm looking to recruit this guy. Unfortunately Alan has a nicely...
Matt “Guitar Murphy” – Second Attempt

Willie “Too Big” Hall

“Blue Lou” Marini

Henry Winter + Johnny Winter = Pi/2
And here's the final one in the collection. We have sports journalist Henry Winter and the late Johnny Winter. I've already done portraits using...

Next up is Autumn Reeser. She's an American actress but I have to be honest here and admit to never having heard of her before now. According to...
Donna Summer In Blue And Orange
Next up in this collection is (maybe not a surprise to some) Donna Summer. I've painted her in blue and orange. Once again I've kind of got a...
The One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest Collection
And here's the full collection. Wow! This is exactly what I wanted and more. The monotone paintings all look incomplete and yet when put...
Charlie Cheswick
And finally we have Charlie Cheswick, played by Sydney Lassick. This was the portrait I've been most looking forward to doing. Seeing this photo...
Dale Harding
Nearly there now. Number seven in the collection is Dale Harding, played by William Redfield. A decent enough likeness but quite a boring...
Bruce Frederickson
Next in the queue for meds at Nurse Ratched's booth is Bruce Frederickson, played by Vincent Schiavelli. He doesn't say or do much in the film but...
