Mikey Hamm Portraits — Kristen Eads Covington

Skip to Content

I don't remember exactly how Mikey Hamm and I met, but one of my earliest memories is hiding in a bush with him around age three. His sudden death in 2012 devastated his wide network of friends and family.
When I first decided to draw Mike, I knew I couldn't draw merely one portrait; Mike was a man of many faces: candid, outrageous, silly, and sincere. I looked at hundreds of photos that flooded his social media and picked a few that inspired me. I decided to keep them relatively simple, with bright splashes of colors that remind me of Mike. I tried to make them drawings that Mike would have liked.
