Update a B&W Portrait of an Artist Using Many of His Self-Portraits

This is what Kohn was looking for in their logo design

I have many self-portraits of an author, but none of them are quite right for representing him in his bio. I'd like it modernized from the images I've uploaded, while retaining and incorporating his face (obviously), hat, flannel shirt, and his signature - "Kohn" as shown in the images. I want him to look kinda hipster with that hat. He is from the 1950's so not to look modern, but like a cool guy. My favorite angle of him in the self portraits is image "IMG_2614.JPG" (not sure if those file names come through, but it is him sitting on a stone with his feet on rocks next to the river and he is facing the left and there is a turtle on a rock in front of him). Actually, that image is almost perfect, but I wanted it zoomed in with more detail on his face and hat. I'd like this design to be of his face and hat and maybe some shoulders but not his whole body or even upper body. I shared some actual photos of him as well, in case you need more guidance of his facial features. Read more
