Bob Dylan & Jim Morrison

Each of these drawings measure 8" x 8". Just waiting on the client to decide on the third and final piece for the series.

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.

Bob Dylan / The Beatles / Jimi Hendrix

As mentioned in my previous post, this piece was one of the most challenging I have done to date but the outcome made it all worthwhile. I was originally given a list of about 6 bands/musicians and was asked to incorporate them all into the one drawing. I knew this would be a problem (because of the detail) unless it was done on a much larger scale so came up with a few different compositions, using only a select few of the musicians the client wanted. They were more than pleased with the outcome and it now sits proudly on their living room wall. This was completed back in 2008 and measures 23" x 8".
