This is the last one! 150 characters, isolated on white, created for a large project for Learning A-Z.

Here’s Abraham Lincoln, 16th president of the United States (1809-1865). He was president during the US Civil War and was assassinated on April 15, 1865. He is best known for abolishing slavery in the US. More about him here.

Here’s our first president, George Washington. There were no photo references, of course, but there are quite a few paintings available that I was able to use as references. Again, this is an image created on commission for Learning A-Z.

Here’s a new piece. A portrait of Martin Luther King Jr.

I hope I got the likeness right. I’ve been staring at it so long, I’m not quite sure.

Here’s a new illustration commissioned by United Methodist Publishing House.  I think it’s going in a kid’s history textbook.  It’s supposed to show black slaves hiding and sneaking, and sometimes being smuggled north out of slavery before the civil war.  I was given very specific elements that I needed to include in the picture, and it was quite a task to fit it all in.  I’m rather proud I managed it.
