Home Sweet Home

Yet some more amazing American musicians. 

Motley Crue.

Enjoy

Devendra Banhart

I love this man and his music.

Colour experimentation

Hendrix

Illustration idea for the project

I need to re-do the hand! hands are so hard to get right, eek.

Inspiration

I'm going to base my American project on some influential and inspirational musicians, Hendrix and Muddy Waters being among the few that I am going to illustrate, Hendrix was influenced by Muddy Waters energetic 'Chicago blues' music. Illustration will be my main focus on this project, and maybe even experimenting with type as well.

Stevie Ray Vaughan - Little Wing

The late American blues guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan plays a truly amazing rendition of Jimi Hendrix's 'Little Wing'
