“Hope”

This is dedicated to Charlotte Louise Cope “Charl”. A 23 yr old NHS paramedic in South Wales that suddenly passed away on April 13th while fighting to care for others during the pandemic. This is dedicated to ALL those fighting for all of us everyday, but her story struck me differently as she was so young and that she had so many difficulties throughout her young life to finally overcome those battles only to then dedicate her life to others. She died fighting the good fight as many others have, and I salute all of you including my step daughter Allyson Morris my wife Tammy Creekmore, Amber King and Krissy Dull.

“Outta my face!”

The lovely @elisarose_sg on the table today. Just love her expressions, I think we can all feel her frustrations in this one as a sign of the times.

“Enduring Dignity”

R.I.P. Congressman John Lewis.

“MidnightFox”

What it became. The stunning and beautiful @midnightfox328. If you don’t know her check her out she’s a damn fine artist in her own right.

“Tom Waits”

I think Tom Waits needs no introduction, I draw certain musicians for a reason. I feel more than most (I believe) while listening to music and I cannot create without my music. Having 4000 songs on my iPod allows me to feel every note in a song along with every stroke of my pen. Without my music my art would mean nothing, I feel the image every time. Tom is done in pen & ink, pencil, colored pencil & acrylic.

“Rage!”

Rage! that is all...

The remarkable Vincent Price on my board today, my father was a huge fan and intern so was I. Growing up on Sundays my father would always have old movies going and they were usually horror so I got to know Mr. Price's catalogue very well...

I wonder if enough of us get together if we could make this happen? Done by hand in ink and colored pencil, with digital lettering. I draw certain musicians for a reason.

Everything Chris Cornell was involved with always turned out beautifully. I admired him a great deal and could always feel all the emotions in his voice as he sang.
