Nice series by Alexandra titled "Manmade" of death row inmates. Beautiful painterly styles reflecting the somber gaze of prisoners in their mug shots.

| Jim Morrison’s mug shot from 1963 |
This may have been the first time Morrison, who was a student at Florida State University at the time, was arrested by the Florida Police (this time it was for drunkeness and petty larceny of a police helmet and an umbrella), but it wasn’t his last.
 |
1967 Four years later on March 5, 1967 Morrison was arrested and charged with lewd and lascivious behavior, indecent exposure, profanity, and drunkenness during a Doors performance in Miami. |
1968
This mug shot of Jim Morrison, taken after the rock icon's January 1968 arrest at the Pussycat a' Go Go in Las Vegas, is at Hogs & Heifers Saloon along with his arrest report. Arrested near midnight, Morrison, The Doors' trouble-prone lead singer, was listed as 5-foot-11, 145 pounds, with brown hair, hazel eyes and "bad" complexion. Dressed in a green coat, purple shirt, black hat and brown shoes, Morrison gave his address as Penthouse C, 8721 Sunset Blvd., Los Angeles.
1970
Sept. 23, 1970. Morrison and Darryl Arthur "Babe" Hill arrested for public drunkenness in Clearwater, Florida.

The exhibit, "Line Up," is the work of artists Nora Ligorano and Marshall Reese. Each Bush administration member clutches a clapboard, as in a standard mug shot, with the date of his "arrest" - a day when each made "incriminating" statements regarding the Iraq war.

The singer with the ever-changing persona was arrested in 1976 for marijuana possession and had about half a pound on him. The maximum sentence he would have received was 15 years but the charges were later dropped and Bowie continued doing his thing. Good thing since his heavy cocaine use through the years brought out quite an interesting side of the artist. Ziggy Stardust anyone?
