Let Jimi take over!!

Finding Jimi Hendrix the hardest to portray. All photographs of this man have become classic photographs, which leads to the problem, how do you improve something that has already been successful?

Let us know which you prefer

Thanks

First idea/image

"Pleased to meet you, hope you guessed my name..."

This is a collage of drawing and photographic images based on brian jones formerly of the Rolling Stones. I have used cut and paste style for this to try and get a trippy feel. I intend to turn these collages into screen prints when they are complete.

"Forever 27"

I have been looking at the deaths of famous musicians at the age of 27, or the infamous "27 Club".

I am going to be producing a series of images on this topic.

Here is a collage of portraits i have created to work with. 

Typeface design

I created this typeface made out of Mirrors and stems used as fashionable accessories on vintage scooters

mod revival drawings pt.3

After creating these last few images, i think that they need to be sharper and maybe in block colour. i have experimented with the previous image to make it crisper.

image making process continued.

after masking up the areas that i don't want to be painted, i used different types of green and kahki color paint to create texture and tone.

Then i peeled away all the masking tape to reveal the white area's. I used black ink to add in more detail.

I think that using a continuous section of green paint, as a pose to painting each part seperate, supports the idea that Mods we're identified as a group of like minded people.

Finally i added a colour filter to edit the white background. it also gives it a nice haze, similar to an over exposed, old picture.
