Albert King
Today's painting is a long overdue subject and a less overdue experiment. The subject is guitarist Albert King. I've been making my way through...
Fire
Today it's a portrait of Jimi Hendrix. You can tell that I've used the Artist Assist App again just by looking at this one. I was planning to do...
Ron “Pigpen” McKernan

Jerry Garcia And Bob Weir, Copenhagen 1972
With all this coloured pencil jamming I've been doing lately, I've been playing a lot of Grateful Dead. YouTube has obviously gotten wind of this,...
