Artist's Comments

Mr Tom Petty, one of my all time favorite musicians. I originally did this in ink, but I wasn't very satisfied with it, so I drew it in pencil. I was very, very please with the result. The guitar strings were the hardest part, especially since I'm a lefty. The background of the original image was black, but I haven't yet decided whether or not to ink out the background. Any suggestions on that are welcome, of course.

All in all, one of my favorite pieces.

P.S. - This is what part of the alphabet would look like if Q and R were eliminated.

very impressive, he seems younger here than on your most recent drawing?? also, i think the detail on the face and hair are low compared to the rest of the drawing

I lock the door and lock my head, dream of butterflies instead.

Yes, this picture is from the late 70s, I believe, while my newest one is from 1989.

And you're right, the detailing on the face is less, same with the hair, but this is one of my older drawings. Plus my scanner sucked on this one.

Thank you for your comments!
