Music Legends

Musicians, particularly those of the past, seem to be a popular subject matter for artwork. In late 2009 I completed two (of three) seperete portraits of Bob Dylan and Jim Morrison of The Doors. As this was a three-piece series, each portrait was the same square format housed in a 14" x 19" frame with identical custom-made typography for the icons name. The image here shows a detailed section from the Dylan portrait. It's always nice to be able to include objects in a drawing, whether that be a pair of sunglasses (in the case of Ray Charles) or something a bit more complex, such as the microphone and harmonica in this example.
