A couple of months ago I was asked by Kevin at Spirit Southwest Airlines Magazine to do nine portraits for their January 2012 issue. I had a lot of fun with some of these celebrities – such as Regis Philbin, Shaquille O’neal, Mario Batali, Condoleezza Rice, Michael Oher, and Erin Andrews. Enjoy!






Fun pieces! Look great. How big are these?
Thanks man! They ran more or less quarter page size
But large did you draw them?
Oh! These ones were done within 9×12″. I usually significantly larger
Beautiful drawings, Brett. Forget color and all the other finishing magic, your drawings are awesome every time.
You captured that smug Shaq expression perfectly. I had to draw Mario Batali once, too! Gotta love drawing beards and stubble.
I like Mario.
Thanks fellas, much appreciated!
