JT and the Whoever of Whatever


I'm super stoked to be in Nautilus's Fame issue this month! Nautilus is an amazing online and print magazine that focuses on science with a dash of pop culture. I had the honor of illustrating a great short story by Jaed Coffin about a (fictional) encounter with Justin Timberlake and the author's insight into the not-so-easy world of a pop star. I love drawing people (especially well-known ones) and immersing myself in their persona for a little while, so drawing JT was right up my alley. A lot of Suit & Tie and SexyBack was listened to while drawing this. That JT has come a long way from his N'Sync days, I tell ya. Thanks a whole bunch to super nice AD Len Small for the wonderful opportunity!  

Read the article and feel free to chuckle to yourself as you do so: http://nautil.us/issue/5/fame/justin-timberlake-and-the-whoever-of-whatever

There are some sketches for you to look at. The middle one won.
