Incredible Artist Illustrates Iconic Actors As They Evolved Over Time

Los Angeles artist and illustrator Jeff Victor has been cultivating his creativity for a long time. After studying art an design at the University of Kansas he went on to work with some of the most famous animations and art studios of all time from Cartoon Network to Dreamworks and ABC Mouse and National Geographic, he has worked alongside, for, and with just about everyone in the animation and illustration industry.

In a series of artwork by Victor, he illustrates the evolutionary progress of iconic characters and/or iconic actors. Sometimes, not every single possibility is presented, but truly the roles that defined them are included and this simple gesture displays an array of talent and passion that is unparalleled in today's society. 

Jeff says:

Currently, I'm working as a children's book illustrator, but when I'm not drawing for work, I'm drawing for fun. I am a huge movie fanatic and expresses my love for my favorite movies though my art, by drawing "adorkable" renditions of famous characters.

In an interview, Jeff said:

My tribute to the illustrious career of Robin Williams. Obviously, there are many, many more movies that could be included in this piece, but I tried to represent as many highlights as I could. This particular Evolution was quite emotional to draw. Williams’ work was so meaningful to me, and a big part of my childhood. His death is a loss for us all. I’m not very eloquent at eulogizing, so hopefully my art will speak for itself and remind you of the joy you felt watching his films.

I am selling this piece as a print here, and for every copy I sell, I am donating $5.00 to the St. Jude Children’s Hospital, a charity Williams was very passionate about.
