Jazz Legends Illustrated Portraits

I love creating portraits. That’s no secret.

For Black History Month, I had the idea of doing a Jazz legends series. So enjoy these portraits, and may they remind you of some great music, or nudge you to explore!

If you like these portraits and would like to create your own you must learn some essential skills, for instance portrait image editing is an essential part of the process that helps to make your vision a reality. But if you do not have the time, you can always outsource your editing requirements to an experienced and professional service provider such as SmartPHOTOeditors who offer high-quality services at the most cost-effective prices.

Some days make you feel incomplete. Your own lack and neediness would love to convince you that you are not enough. It’s in those moments that the battle heats up.

Some days make you feel incomplete. Your own lack and neediness would love to convince you that you are not enough. It’s in those moments that the battle heats up. When you try as you may to muster the strength, to not react, but to believe. Lord, I believe. Help my unbelief. | art inspired by @jamiemarieduncan

As much as I joke about hating snow & winter (which i really do), the winter months really do mess with me.
