I always loved singer Johnny Cash as a kid, and drew a pic of him when I started drawing musicians. When I got interviewed about my art for the local Kernersville (NC) newspaper, the Johnny Cash drawing was included in the article. Not long after, I showed it to Jo, the owner of Deli on Main, a great little sandwich shop on old Main street in Kernersville. I traded some of Jo's great food for that drawing, and Johnny Cash is now hanging on the wall of the deli. A couple weeks later, Jo asked if I could do a Janis Joplin drawing for her. I picked this classic, live, singing shot. I spent quite a while looking at the old posters of her shows, and I tried to put a background in that would fit in with those classic posters.
Like all my musician drawings, I listened to her music the whole time I was drawing this. It helps me kind of get the feel and vibe of who I'm drawing. I've been a big fan of Janis forever, and wound up stoked on this drawing. Sharpies on paper, 18" X 24."
