1965 sketches

Description

Thanks to Mad Men, I've had the 1960s on the brain. Here's a bunch of characters from a story set in 1965 I'm currently working on, with the help of :iconsavivi:.

From top left: Sam Frankowski, down on his luck surf rock musician; protagonist Alec Cameron, a charming and ruthless music agent; Julie Benoit, an ambitious artist; and Sharon Tate from Valley of the Dolls, which I was rewatching the other night. At the bottom there's Alec and Julie again.

For inspiration for the characters, I was thinking of Sam Rockwell for Sam, Jamie Thomas King for Alec (channeling Sting from Quadrophenia) and for Julie as a very young Courtney Cox. I don't think Sharon Tate needs any explanation-- VotD is one of my favorite bad movies.
