Geddy Lee

Time for another set of marker portraits.  I’ve done chess, physics and westerns, so it’s time to start on another passion: music.

This is Geddy Lee, vocalist/bassist/keyboarder in Rush and one of the greatest bassists of all time, right up there alongside John Paul Jones and John Entwhistle.  I’d put him at the top of the pile to be honest.

After a bit of a break from the markers, I’m really pleased with the result today.  It’s instantly recognisable as Geddy for a start.  And it’s quite an exciting picture, maybe a result of this accidentally ending up as a worm’s eye view – the sort of view you might get from the front row of a concert.  The strings came out well in white pen with a ruler, too, even if they’re too high and too closely packed – there should really be four evenly spaced strings there.

This isn’t going up for sale yet.  It will end up as part of a set, although I’m not committing yet to whether this will be a a Rush set or a Supergroup set.  Let’s see how I get in with the other two members of Rush first.
