Fallen Icons

In our world of social media, it seems like every person of note is taken down a notch through scandal or corruption. In the past, some of these "icons" were protected by journalists but that is nearly impossible now. This new transparency is welcomed by most but somehow always seems to leave a sour taste after all the sordid information is disseminated. Perhaps the term "role model" is outdated. Anyway, I began these pages in my sketchbook with this idea in mind...and picked a giant colossus head from another sketchbook from Boboli Gardens in Florence.
