Rankin

It’s portrait artist of the week again.  This week it’s John Rankin Waddell, aka Rankin, famous portrait and fashion photographer and director.  He seems like a good guy, having some interesting artistic banter with the artist painting him live.  I’d go for a beer and curry for him any time.

The idea of drawing a hand holding a photo of Rankin came to me in the shower this morning and I’m hoping it’s inspired enough to generate a bit of interest from the judges.  Without that idea, there would be nothing special about this one.  There’s a vague likeness but nothing more than that.
