Townes & Telecasters

Hey,

Here's some rough sketches for the next couple o paintings.

Steve Cropper


James Burton


And also, as mentioned last time, here's that Townes Tribute post I'd also been a workin' on.

Hopefully next week I'll have the top two paintings done and also the next two sketches. Clarence White and Jesse Ed Davis. Then paint those up, so in around 2 weeks time,  after 16-18 odd months the work that will become an exhibition titled 'Let There Be Guitar' will be finally done!! Then onto the horrible business side-a-things....

Started on the Chrissie Hynde painting today. Should have it finished this time next week I reckon.

Also, although unrelated to the exhibition, but kinda related in some ways I guess....I've painted this for the upcoming Claire Birchall record launch for her Album 'Electricity' next month (I done the record cover art too). Ya gotta come along if you're in town!!


Until next week...
