I haven’t participated in Illustration Friday for a very long time but when I saw this week’s topic, I had to post this. I did this colored pencil drawing in the 80’s when I was in high school. Yes I was a dork.
Oh yeah! this is rockin!! I love it!!! If only I saved the stippled ink drawing I drew of Tom Selleck back in the Eighties! (your Boy George is WAY better though!)
no worries, we were all dorks in high school…i was looking for drawings i did in 80s but couldn’t find it – glad you post something that was really from the era!

Yes it is Boy George, from the “Colour by Numbers” album cover. I was a major fan back then.

Great picture! My uber-Catholic father would make us turn off the TV or radio whenever Karma Chameleon came on
