Kevin Sprouls is the creator of the ''Wall Street Journal portrait'' style known as ''hedcut.'' He began as a freelance illustrator for Dow Jones and Company, the parent company for ''The Wall Street Journal.'' In 1979 he introduced a style of stipple portraiture that the ''Journal'' adopted because it was reminiscent of the sort of old engravings that are found on bank notes. Kevin became the first full-time artist at the ''Journal,'' eventually the Assistant Art Director and head of the illustration department. His ''Wall Street Journal'' stipple illustrations were awarded a gold medal at ''The Society of Illustrators'' competition in 1986. His style of portraiture, later coined ''hedcut,'' is the definitive corporate icon and is created completely by hand, not computer. Sprouls is once again is a freelance artist but still works for ''Dow Jones'' on occasion, along with a host of other publishing clients. He has been featured on ''CNN'', in the American ''National Portrait Gallery'' and in the ''Smithsonian'' magazine. His pen is housed in the ''Newseum'' in Washington. ==External links== * Kevin Sprouls’s (homepage ) * (Kevin Sprouls )—Blog site for Kevin Sprouls * ''(How a Photo Becomes a Wall Street Journal Hedcut )'' at DowJones.com (PDF) * ''(Ink Dot Art )'' in the ''Smithsonian'' magazine * (''Getting Inside Their Heds'' )—a chapter from (''Picturing Business in America.
