mug shots

I've been reading this book by the guy who helped to pioneer the FBI's Art Crimes division, and spent several years chasing down art and artifacts that had been stolen or were otherwise being sold or traded under dubious circumstances.  When I looked at the photos section (people who have read a lot of true crime books will be familiar with this), I noted that most of the people who were arrested for shady dealings were real characters.  I wanted to draw them, so I did.  Apparently, you don't have to have a mustache to get arrested by the Art Crimes division, but it certainly does help.
