About this piece:
Compare
and contrast Thomas Shelby with
Alexander Miller’s other, very different, portrait of actor Cillian Murphy in
the same role: Tall Handsome Man. In
this drawing, we meet perhaps a rather more subdued version of the gang leader.
“I decided to do a portrait drawing of him as not only
a challenge to myself but also to withdraw slightly from the faceless
characters that I’m generally known for,” Alexander says.
