Famous Faces & Pop Culture Icons

Elvis Presley - Pencil

Original Sold

Now available in print form, my pencil portrait of the King himself, Elvis Presley. I completed this piece in 2020. The original measures 11x08". Drawing from such an old photo was a little challenging. It didn't have the massive amount of detail you'd get with modern, high-resolution cameras, but I was really happy with the final result.

"Truth is like the sun. You can shut it out for a time, but it ain't going away" - Elvis Presley.

"Art is about trying to find the good in people and making the world a more compassionate place" - Keanu Reeves.
