This started as a headshot from London in 1989, arranged through Nigel Askew. Not long before, I’d booked a Wrigley’s Spearmint Gum commercial for the UK market—shot in Los Angeles—so London felt like the next chapter. I didn’t book there. I was told I was too all-American, too short. But looking back, that headshot still held something powerful. I turned it into pop art because sometimes the image outlives the opinion.
