While there is rap/hip hop I really like, I'm not a huge fan, generally. But I'd been wanting to draw this photo of the Notorious B.I.G. for months. I really like this one. Where Brooklyn at? 18" X 24"
Another blues legend, and the pride of Austin. In 1987, while I was in Austin for a BMX freestyle contest, we went riding down at Sixth Street one night. We locked up our bikes in a big pile, and some locals led us into a bar for a few beers. When we came out, I told them, "Hey, that bluesy guy on the guitar was pretty good." They freaked. "Pretty good? That's fuckin' Stevie Ray Vaughn!" I'd never heard of him. But I can say I saw him play in a bar, just didn't realize it until later. Epic. 18" X 24"
Another one I did for the couple in Kentucky. It's a man's world. Or at least it was, when the Godfather of soul was on the stage. Another one for the couple in Kentucky. Check out the YouTube video of James Brown with Joss Stone as a guest. Great clip. "18" X 24"
Drawing so many legendary rockers for so many months, I realized I'd never drawn Elvis. So I found a cool pic and gave it a shot. The colors wound up kind of weird on this one. But it did sell. 18" X 24"
This is the last one requested by the couple in Kentucky. I always prefer live concert photos with hard shadows. But this was for the woman's mother, a huge Beatles fan, and she wanted this photo drawn. I was nervous, traditional portraits with good lighting are the hardest to do with my style of drawing. But this came out really well, and mom was very happy with it. This also reigns at the drawing that took me the longest, about 55 hours of work to make this happen. Eleanor Rigby is the lyrics in the background. 18" X 24" #sharpiescrbblestyle
