I have this obsession with mugshots. ESPECIALLY celeb mugshots because the majority of the pictures they take are flawless, it's nice to see a picture of them when they're at their worst. I think that catching what their faces look like in the middle of doing something they weren't supposed to be doing in the first place lets you know their threshold for embarassment Bobby Brown looked like an old Arby's french dip sandwich in all of his mugshots in my opinion, whereas Bill Gates mugshot is actually just about free from blemishes. I really wonder about the people who smile in their mugs. Maybe they feel as if they weren't doing anything wrong or maybe they just don't give a damn.
One of my favorite mugshots is a mugshot of Sid Vicious. I just love the look he's giving, there's no other reason why I'm so fond of it. I decided to do a mugshot concept piece. I got the facial expression from Lil' Kim's mugshot (she looks really pissed that she got arrested):
