Keith Richards

I’ve been working on a lot of music lately. Shame my pursuit in music has very little online output to show the world.

There has been plenty of little art bits and pieces between then. But nothing notable enough to post. But trying to return to a regular work effort. Split between art and music. See how long it goes. But anyway here is my Keith Richards piece. It’s only a small drawing (A4) … I think I’ll work on a few of these and see if they sell. IF not I’ll return to my usual A3 pieces.

 

Some progress pieces … only a couple.

And a mobile camera shot. Because I feel the scan has taken away from the details. (blowing it up and making it look different, this one is far closer, just slightly washed out a bit)

Also, I had a dream while working on it with Keith in it (I keep trying to type Keither for some reason so that’s what I’ll call him from now on) … and he was teaching a cartoonish art course.

It was very strange and serial. He broke out into improv singing while in the background his drawings came to life; turning into really weird animation sequences. And there I was standing in the background completely floored by his lyrics. And I said to myself “why can’t I write lyrics like that?” … and well I did a what’s it called, movie with a dream within a dream with titanic brat guy …. INCEPTION! … and I woke up but was still dreaming and was trying to upload the few photos I took in my inception dream that somehow managed to transfer to my awake self dream who was so glad I had photos because it meant I actually was there And then I really woke up and I was so upset that I didn’t have the photos or couldn’t remember the great lyrics … because … well even though they were by Keither in my dreams, they were still mine … curses! So here’s to Keither, and weird bobbing animation creatures

  1. That’s an interesting pose and expression by Keef. It looks something he’d do and yet shy or embarassed which I don’t think he’d ever be!

    Is it based on a photo or still?

    1. Yeah It’s based off a photo. My attempt doesn’t really do it justice. He looked more cheeky in the photo.
