Being an artist, I draw a lot of portraits in different styles and of various complexities. Creating a good-looking portrait is probably one of the biggest challenges an artist faces. That is why I appreciate any opportunity to practice in this field.
I’ve been thinking how I can create more portraits and, at the same time, attract more people to see them. And the idea of creating portraits of people who were featured in trending news crossed my mind. So I decided to create a blog where I would show portraits created by me based on weekly news trends. Hopefully this experiment will make this blog popular with people from all over the world.
Since portraits are about the person, I decided to accompany them with a short news account made from the first person. Also I’ll try to supply portraits with some captions as clever and/or funny as I can think up. Note that news accounts in this blog posts do not necessarily contain quotes of respective people on portraits.
I also hope that as this blog grows people will find it interesting to trace back past news that grabbed world’s attention.
