awesome texture, i can tell you put a lot of thought into the expression on the artists face. i am afraid i haven't heard of him, but you did him proud i am sure.

I'm really happy to see this ....

Not only cos it's been a while, but also cos something happened during the break and you've come back stronger, better, with a lil added sparkle.

Breaks can do that sometimes, like a kind of re-ordering, taking stock.....

Anyway, its great. Very nice work. Beaiutifully finished and putting across a strong sense of a the person and his character.

Beautiful.

This is my favorite of your gallery so far. The stokes have such a smooth flow to them--it feels almost lyrical. There is also a great sense of depth. His face really pops out from the background.

thanks :D (though i can't take credit for the face popping out thing; that whole concept came from the reference photo)

Amazing. That is just liquid smooth.

I havent heard his music, but looking at this, I feel I already know it.

(I manage a music shop, so maybe I should just go check it out...)

Love this pic.

He's really good if you're a fan of delta blues. I'm not a HUGE fan of his vocals, but the way he plays guitar makes up for it.

thanks for the comment
