Group Portrait

This was a fun little piece commissioned by the Wheelhouse Review; the request was a group portrait of the contributers that could be used as the cover image for the blog's Facebook fan page. The goal of the blog is to be a forum for each writer/artist to do what they do best {aka be in their wheelhouse}, so the work featured shares a space, but not necessarily a theme or voice. I thought a good way to weave that concept into the portrait form was to have us all rocking out together at the helm of our own unique little boats. {Also, water is a very fun thing to draw.}
