POP ART TRADING CARDS

Choose an individual from popular culture who has has spanned four decades or more.  This person could be an athlete, tv/film star, musician, politician etc....  Find photo references from each of the four decades to work from.  Research the person and find four noteworthy facts that defined that decade for the individual.  We will be creating a set of four trading cards documenting four decades of this person's life with an image on the front side and the four facts on the back.
We will focus on Andy Warhol and render these trading cards in his style of intense high contrast color.

Please follow the links below and see examples of Warhol's portraits and a series of self portraits that span four decades.  When you are finished please leave a comment telling me who you have chosen as your subject.  Your comment WILL NOT automatically appear so just comment once please.
