Hey,

So, it's time I posted all 16 now I've done the touch ups. In chronological order. From Hank to Hendrix!

So, that's the main series of 16. Next week I might do a re cap on the portraits, and some overall stats and thoughts...

never stop, never never never stop....

Hey,

Been pretty damn busy, finished doing all the touch ups on the 16 main pieces. I'll post all 16 next week. The onto touchin' up some of the portrait paintings.

Little Wing

Hey,

Just finished Jimi Hendrix "Little Wing" last of the 16 in the main series. Here tis.

Done a rough for my Malcolm & Angus painting too.Should have this finished in the next few days.

Also, just did this flyer, outside of the series, but I'll plug it anyways...Celebrating the release (finally!!) of the near complete Basement Tapes recordings.

Fab!

Hey,

Finished John and George portrait. Kinda very cartoon like. I was a big fan of the 60s Beatles cartoon as a kid. Think this had an influence on the painting, as I guess did the Beatles' very cartoon like persona's of 64', Hard Days Night and all that.

Here tis'

 Also, changed Hendix song. Decided on another song from "Axis: Bold As Love", "Little Wing".
Part of the decision for this was lyric imagery, easier to interpret,  part was due to it having more "play-ability", as I'm hoping all the songs in this series will get performed at the exhibition opening.

Here's the rough.

Here's the lyrics.

Jimi Hendrix – Little Wing Lyrics

Well she's walking through the clouds
With a circus mime
That's running wild
Butterflies and zebras and moonbeams
And fairly tales,

That's all she ever thinks about

Riding with the wind

When I'm sad she comes to me
With a thousand smiles
She gives to me free

It's alright, she says
It's alright
Take anything you want from me
Anything

Fly on, little wing

 After this I've got a couple more portrait paintings to do, starting with a tribute to the guys I named the whole series after. The Young Brothers, George, Malcolm and Angus. So sad to hear about Malcolm last week. Such a great rhythm guitar player, one of a kind, but so many damn imitators! 

 Malcolm with the Gretch and Marshall.Classic.

     Malcolm and Angus.

Older Young brother George, with songwriting/producing partner and Easybeats band mate Harry Vanda.

Also would like to do a tribute to 4 great Telecaster players, James Burton, Steve Cropper., Jesse Ed Davis and Clarence White. And maybe a couple more guitar hero portraits. Who that may be is yet to be decided.....
