I promised some coloring book drawings so...

Here is the number of previews I'm authorized for the adult coloring book I recently illustrated entitled:
Remember When: Hollywood Screen Stars 
from 
Racehorse Publishing  
copyright 2016


Shirley Temple
 I had a blast working on these. There's just so much history and material to work with!





















These are roughs and the printed versions will be slightly different due to formatting.
Rita Moreno

 Above I combined Shirley with elements that made up Captain January.

I combined un-copyrighted publicity photos with elements from the films each star was in. I tried to keep the elements to one film so as not to confuse things.

Many times I outright fabricated the backdrop to create a scene or medley that represented one of the star's more famous films.


James Cagney

Ginger Rogers





















There were an abundance of cowboys, pilots, and cute sailor outfits in the period I was working as well as plenty of gangsters and molls from the 30's so I got pretty familiar with the themes.



Below I dropped Errol's famous The Adventures of Robinhood character with bits made from the first sword fight scene in Princess Bride (oh, yes I did)
Errol Flynn
