Break On Through To The Other Side

Finally (for now) one I did of Jim Morrison from The Doors - I think I underestimated how wide his jaw was but hopefully it looks decent / recognisable anyway...

Ground Control To Major Tom...

Here is a picture (again I did the other month) of a young David Bowie from the Space Oddity period (1969). Pretty pleased with how it turned out.

I Danced Myself Right Out The Womb

My printer broke (well actually the cable broke but being an idiot I went ahead and bought a fancy new printer before checking that) which means I've only just been able to scan these pictures I did a while ago. 

First up is of Marc Bolan - unfortunately all my pencils were blunt and nobody had a sharpener which is why the shading / outline is pretty strong (luckily he's meant to be wearing eyeliner!) 

Imagine All The People

Last one perhaps for a while since I have sadly reached the end of my notepad - This is John Lennon.

Also just a side note if you're not already aware I am now doing a radio show on forge radio Saturday night where I am going through all of British music from 1963 to the end of the 20th century - if that sounds like something you're interested in you can give it a listen on my mixcloud and remember to spread the word not the butter. 

The Name Of This Band Is Talking Heads

So is it the prospect of having to revise for my exam or a genuine surge of enthusiasm that has lead me to update my website again? Probably the first but no matter, here is a picture I did a while ago of Jerry Harrison from Talking Heads.

The Boy In The Bright Blue Jeans Jumped Up On The Stage

A while ago I attempted a pop art style painting of David Bowie ala Ziggy Stardust and I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out.

I stared off by drawing the main features and outline in black felt-tip and copying it to fit the canvas as a guide.

End Product:

Paint A Vulgar Picture

So here is a picture of Morrissey. 

I underestimated the size of his chin slightly. Bloody hell does Morrissey have a big chin.
