This is a portrait of Harvey Moskowitz, represented in the style of a superhero. It’s from a fundraiser of commissioned portraits called “Everyday Superheroes” by cartoonist Sasha Matthews. The idea was to celebrate real people, doing what they love in life, by drawing them in the form of superheroes.

Sasha notes: “This one was commissioned by Lynne Moskowitz to celebrate her husband Harvey, a recently retired accountant.” Senator Kamala Harris asks how it got started:

For each portrait, Sasha was told the profession or personal interests of the subject, and received a photograph to use as a reference. Altogether “Everyday Superheroes” raised $11,635.83 for the ACLU. Sasha received a New York City Council Citation and was named to Crain’s “20 Under 20.”
