Analog Analog World: Drawings of Photos I have Taken

I'm resurrecting my drawing project, turning it into a fun coloring book for my nieces and nephews. I decided to interpret some of my favorite film photographs (holgas, polaroids, 35mm, etc.) into drawings that children and adults can enjoy. I'll post more as I go!

Dandy Portrait, version 1

A year ago the design firm I work for (LPK) hired photographers to shoot portraits of us doing things we dig. I like retro stuff, photography and cycling so I put it all together in a "All Creatures Great and Small" portrait of a Tweedy Dandy out for a spin on his 3-speed.

My Sister drew a portrait of her boyfriend for his business card, and I also dug some packaging I saw from Upton's Naturals. I got jealous so I thought it would be fun to draw my own. I plan to create different versions similar to how Andy Warhol or Shephard Fairey works. This one features my personal motto, which one could interpret as "I live for life's little pleasures."
