Yvette Jarvis: Black Magic Woman

Mosaic portrait of Yvette Jarvis for the Greek newspaper Weekend Xpress.

I had the honor and the pleasure to collaborate with Yvette during the 2008 U.S. presidential campaign, when she served as the coordinator for the "Obama for President - Greece" organization for US expats in Greece.

Yvette is a teacher, a politician, a philanthropist, a social worker as well as a great ex basketball player, a fashion model and so much more. She can inspire people in a unique way and I am really happy that Gelly Aroni from Weekend Xpress asked me to create this portrait for her.

 

Made with custom developed scripts and techniques in Synthetik Studio Artist, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator and Apple QuickTime Pro.

 

This illustration is copyrighted as I am using many copyrighted photos of other artists. I don't think there would be any problem if you want to use it in a personal project, but please avoid any commercial use and credit me, Yvette and the photographer of the original photo.

Please, don't use it to express hate, racism or anything negative.

Based on this wonderful portrait by Guglielmo de'Micheli for People magazine.
