Rendering some of the biggest fashion icons in the world, Williams has amazing talent in capturing the likeness of celebrities without resorting to too much detail. Among the big names featured in his work are Beyonce, the Kardashian sisters, the Olsen twins, Elizabeth Taylor, Marilyn Monroe, Jessica Alba, Kate Middleton, Amy Winehouse and more.

Williams hopes to, as explained on his blog, conquer, “the world one fashion sketch at a time.”
