Many artists, including other famous celebrities, have been inspired to create music and illustrations inspired by Natalie Portman, so it’s not that surprising to see these tribute drawings done by the talented Jeff Victor. What’s awesome about his work however is that he rendered the Oscar-winning actress as she appeared in various roles throughout her career. As such, you’re treated to images of Portman as a child to her recent role as Thor’s love interest.
Jeff Victor titled this piece ‘I heart Natalie.’ He has a distinct rendering style that takes hyperbolic cartooning into whimsically cute extremes. Portman herself is depicted a few times with stick-skinny legs, while her face is nothing more than a few hastily drawn lines. The characters Victor chose to pair with each Portman role are all also humorously illustrated.
