This is a portrait illustration of director Spike Jonze. We’ve all seen or want to see his latest film, Where The Wild Things Are, which was released 2 weeks ago. I’ve always loved his work, especially his music videos, they have a real charm to them that can only be referenced back to Jonze. This illustration was inspired by a web article I read a few weeks ago.

Here is a 2nd version and my first rough version I mocked up in illustrator. Most of the work in the final was done using illustrator as well, but a lot of blending and textures, as well as light was modified in photoshop. Leave a comment and let me know what you think!

Final Version with Frame:
