Anthony Bourdain



Recent commissioned portrait of Anthony Bourdain. Went for a bit of a weathered treasure map look for the illustration to reference Bourdain's explorer spirit when it came to searching out culture and food. I would catch his shows every now and then and will always be glad I caught the episode on Lisbon, which introduced me to Fado. It's a genre of music I've really grown to love and was even lucky enough to catch some when traveling through Lisbon. Anyways, I've never drawn Bourdain so I'm glad I got the chance to immortalize him in my own way and also revisit his work for research. Scroll on down for some process pics.
