Small Portrait of Jana Knauerova from AW11 Casting New York
Small Portrait of Jana Knauerova from AW11 Casting New York. 9x12 ink on Bristol paper. I'm not sure if Jana still has this hair style but I loved it on her. The short blonde pixie cut with her skin tone blended together in a continuos tone interrupted by dark eyebrows (Brooke Shields intensity brows) and her piercing eyes. She has the most beautiful eyes with dark rims on the outside of the iris.

Small Portrait of Tao Okamoto from Fittings AW2012 New York. 9x12 Ink on Bristol Paper.
I stopped cold when I first saw Tao at a casting. She had her Peggy Moffit Vidal Sassoon 'bob' hair cut. Who was this beautiful woman? I finally was able to meet her last year during casting and fittings while she had this pixie cut. Very cool, very beautiful, very professional- wonderful to work with. The shows I have seen online it looks like she is growing out her hair. At the Akris show in Paris it looks like they gave her extensions. She looks amazing in anything. If you haven't seen this Emporio Armani Campaign Video, she takes a star turn.

Ink Wash Portrait of Kristina Salinovic From Feb 2011
Ink Wash Portrait of Kristina Salinovic From Feb 2011. Ink on 9x12 Bristol Paper.
I only met Kristina for about 10 minutes, but I really loved her look for casting that morning. She reminded me of a character from Streets of Fire or part of New Romantic band from the mid 80s. She modeled in a beautiful editorial shoot by Paolo Roversi for Italian Vogue last September. (See the behind the scenes video here). I doubt she has the same length of hair, since my inspiration for this image was from a year ago, but I think she has a great talent to transform herself.

Ink Wash Portrait of Samantha Gradoville
Ink Wash Portrait of Samantha Gradoville. 9x12 ink wash on Bristol paper.
Samantha is very down to earth girl with a just an amazing casual confidence. This is from casting and fitting during February of 2011. We spoke briefly and I learned she is from San Diego CA and as a Southern California boy myself, and there something to the laid back cool attitude that embodies Southern California. She walks the delicate line of sweet, whimsical, and tough.

I have drawn Bonnie before and I must admit her beauty is hard to represent. I believe this candid portrait reveals more of her beauty than my first drawing of her last February. She holds herself with grace and strength. Surrounded by beautiful women in a line for casting she emitted casual cool that commanded attention.
