Description In honor of the 55th anniversary of James Dean's death, I'm posting this ancient drawing I did at the end of high school (cira. 2002). I was quite obsessed with him back in the day.

I guess it's my statement on how he took great care in crafting his own public image, enigmatic as it was.

Graphite, 18x24.

Great idea! Very clever!
Life is not about finding yourself, life is about CREATING YOURSELF, as B. Shaw said.

Thanks! I haven't really drawn realistically like this in years (I think I was 18 or so when I drew this). Makes me wonder if I even can now!

Could give it a try. Your more recent human figures are pretty good too. Better than what I can do.
