This week's "Hot Seat" portrait for Time Out New York is comedian/actor Aziz Ansari!
While I've seen Ansari in a couple of things, I know him mostly from his role as would-be playa Tom Haverford on Parks and Recreation.
This one was fairly easy, as I had an idea for it right from the start--I wanted a big, loud, ostentatious background behind him, since his persona (on that show, at least) relies a lot upon the tension between his appearance and attitude.
I messed around with the monochromatic colors on Aziz himself for a bit, but I liked the combo of the soft brown and the bright yellows, and went with that.

This is nice, Rob. I like the subtle way you handled color and shape on the facial hair.
