Artist's Comments

To make sure you know it: It's a painting and not a photo! :D
------------------

THANKS:
First of all: Thanks for all the new comments, favs and watches! crayonmaniac [link] is truly an angel! Thanks for the support! ;-)


PORTRAIT:
So, here we are:
This time it's not Alessandra Ambrosio or Doutzen Kroes. It's one of my favourite guitar players - Greg Howe. Because of his versatility I cannot say exactly which genre it is. It's instrumental rock, fusion and funk I think. It's a pity that he's not so well-known like Joe Satriani or Steve Vai.


PAINTING
Painting was done in 15 hours. As you can imagine the shirt and guitar (especially the Floyd Rose [thats the vibrato system at the end of the guitar] took a lot of time) but I'm very satisfied with the result.
All done in Photoshop. Used a reference image of Greg.

I hope you like it! ;-)

PS. this time you can download a huge version of the painting! ;-)


GREG HOWE MUSIC:
If you want to listen to him, click here:
- "The Terrace" [link] (Instrumental Rock Ballade in Jeff Beck style)
- "Sunny" [link] (you never heard such a jazzy / funky version of "Sunny"! ;-))

And Greg! If you read this: Please !PLEASE! come to Hannover, Germany! ;-)

Danke Jan, also die Hand kann man echt verbessern. Ich war heut nur zu faul dazu! :-) Was magst denn am Gesicht nicht?

mag ich, meinte nur, daß man dort erkennt daß es ein gezeichnetes ist, sonst würde ich glatt sagen daß das ein foto ist, und nicht von dir! ;)

Wake me up in my dreams

I don't want to achieve immortality through my work... I want to achieve it through not dying.

Thanks José! I'm also satisfied with the result. But the Floyd Rose was really a hell to paint! :D
