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. The exercise was all about keeping the portraits as simple as possible yet still highly recognizable. I am fairly happy with the results and will be posting the rest of the series over the next few weeks.
