The Deer Dana Portrait Collection commemorates canonized creative icons from cinematic mastermind Alfred Hitchcock to disco legend Grace Jones. The collection features simple portrait-style illustrations of these famous faces. One of the standout pieces is an uncanny representation of cult film director John Waters.
Soulful R&B artist Miguel even collaborated on some of the pieces; for instance, he had a hand in creating the 'Sade' T-shirt, which pays tribute to the multitalented British singer and composer. Proceeds from the shirt (and Miguel's other collaborations) will be donated to the Precious Dreams Foundation, which tends to the needs of foster care children through the distribution of care packages.
The line is ultimately a celebration of brilliant creative minds (and characters) whose prolific contributions shaped our understanding of pop culture.
