This week in Workhorse Art, I have finished a custom piece I illustrated from a famous photo of Joe Perry as shown in the 1978 Live album, "Live Bootleg". During my high school years and even now, I prefer Aerosmith because of their gritty / double guitar infused sound. While I don't approve of all of their songs subject matter or the history of drug and alcohol abuse, there can be no denying their incredible musical talent and cohesiveness as a band. I also have considered Joe Perry and Brad Whitford as two guitar aficionados who deserved far more recognition than they were given. This piece today was finished by my usual sketch, ink and water color wash process and based on the photo seen to the far margin ( it was originally seen inside the fold of the double live album). My piece is not a perfect reproduction but I put my own touch on this classic pose of Joe with his BC Rich guitar. Custom illustration as well as contract graphic work is what I do. Follow me and my work on Facebook or my website www.workhorseart.com Thanks for viewing. Gerald V Jones |
