I did this portrait of Kerry Washington a while ago (back when I was spending more time in airplanes than mere mortals can handle).  I rediscovered it yesterday, and showed it to my wife. She said “that’s pretty good, but you do a lot of portraits of women. Maybe you should do some men to balance it out.” That’s actually not a direct quote. But it’s pretty close. Then she “wait, is that why there was  a page ripped out of my Essence magazine?” And I was in the dog house.

She’s got a good point.  And, I’m going through a faze where I’m totally into doing these portraits.  I’m in the middle of a Chris Rock portrait and one of Lawrence Fishburn. So, I’ll finish those one day and post them. In the mean time, I’m going to look up the Fair Use doctrine and see whether I could get in trouble for posting this image of Kerry Washington from Essence magazine (if anyone knows off hand, please leave a comment and let me know to save me the the effort).
