# Blind Contour Portraits Kevin Breakstone Illustrates 'Star Trek' and 'Deadwood' Characters By Meghan Young | Published 2010-11-17 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kevin-breakstone References: [neatorama](http://www.neatorama.com/2010/11/15/cartoons-of-star-trek-characters-made-without-looking-at-the-paper/) & [blindstone.tumblr](http://blindstone.tumblr.com/) After perusing through Kevin Breakstone's blind contour portraits, I am truly amazed at this artist's skill and talent. Sketching iconic 'Star Trek' and 'Deadwood' characters, Kevin Breakstone created these drawings with his eyes closed, and then filled them in with watercolors. With a very Picasso-esque theme, these works are definitely ones you'd want to frame in your bedroom or study.
