About Artwork:
I have enjoyed doing images of celebrities since I was a kid. I have always included celebrity portraits in my portfolio of work amidst the many book cover illustrations I have been commissioned to do over the years. Marilyn Monroe remains the favorite subject matter of many portrait atists and illustrators and I am particularly proud of this image as it is one of my most popular.
