Presidential Minimalism: Andrew Jackson

Here is the fourth installment of my presidential minimalism series Ol' Hickory himself, Andrew Jackson. I meant to post these in chronological order, but I accidentally skipped over this image last week. Oh well.   Enjoy!

Presidential Minimalism: Abe Lincoln

Third President in the series, good ol' honest Abe. I found this portrait especially fun to illustrate his long lanky face and famous chinstrap beard made Abe very easy simplify and characterize.

Presidential Minimalism: Thomas Jefferson

Here is the second portrait of my presidential minimalism series. I proudly present the primary author of the Declaration of Independence and the celebrated golden boy of the founding fathers, Thomas Jefferson.

Presidential Minimalism: George Washington

George Washington is the first in series of Presidential portraits I created as an exercise to help me become more familiar with working with Adobe Illustrator.

I am fairly happy with the results and will be posting the rest of the series over the next few weeks.
