2018-2026 This collection of illustrations centers on portraiture and the expressive possibilities of the human face. Working across digital drawing, ink, and mixed media, Shabazz Larkin creates portraits that explore identity, character, and presence through bold color, line, and pattern. Many of these works begin as quick studies or visual experiments and evolve into finished illustrations. Together they form an ongoing exploration of portraiture as both observation and interpretation, capturing the energy, individuality, and cultural spirit of the people represented.
