Unmasking Thomas Jefferson
2012
Unmasking Thomas Jefferson: The president's portrait for Smithsonian Magazine
This is one of my favorite projects of the last year. Smithsonian magazine commissioned me to create two twin portraits of President Thomas Jefferson for the special issue on him and his secrets. The black and white version would symbolize the two different sides of this historical personality.
The great team of Smithsonian Institute have provided me historical documents that have served as the constructing elements of the mosaic.
The portrait is partially based on Rembrandt Peale's portrait of Thomas Jefferson because it reflects the mysterious part of Jefferson's personality.
Made with custom developed scripts, hacks and lots of love, using my Mac, Synthetik Studio Artist, the Adobe Creative Suite and good music.
See all my Editorial Illustrations.
Many thanks to Maria Keehan and everyone @ Smithsonian Magazine
