Happy Holidays
Illustration by George Karkoulas.
Happy Happy to all my Followers. Wishing you all the best for the holiday season and The New Year with this 1991 illustration by George Karkoulas (1954-1993).
I have, with the help of Instagram, played with his original sketch. Which I have in my Archives along with many others he sent me exclusively. He trusted me as much as I admired his amazing talents, and I know he would love what I have done.
I honor him every Christmas using another of his sketches. The original sketches are at the beginning of the archived album, and my Christmas versions are towards the end. To see some of the best hair illustrations ever created, CLICK HERE
“I love you mad,”George wrote with every series of sketches he sent me. I will always love you, too. You will be in my heart forever.

This wide crimped flat on top hairstyle from La Coupe’s iconic 1975 “Sleeper” Collection is one of my favorites. It was the first time the crimper was used in the modern era, a 50 year old antique crimping machine then-hairstylist Elmer Olsen found in his Grandmother’s attic. Hair History. Really.
