These lasercut portraits were sold as a set. I designed and made the Kendrick Lamar painting first, which was then purchased by a buyer who commissioned the Bill Evans painting to accompany it.

Both paintings were designed in Adobe Illustrator. The Bill Evans portrait was designed in close consultation with the client.
