Who dat?

Sean

So Ilse did a little something for someone, and I thought I'd post it here because someone else might find it interesting.

Gearhead

Yerr I'm so over the moon with these, makes me wanna build a studio just to hang them on the wall 8)

Hey Sean, did she print those out and then Block-mount them? What size are the prints?

They're cool!

I played around with some Andy Warhol-type stuff once, but never got to finishing them........ ☹

Not printed, oil on canvas ?

Can't remember the size, about 30cm by 30cm each

Vick

Nice...!

Oil on canvas can be magical when dun properly,but often you have
To see them in person to really experience them...

and her I was starting to think there art guys on the form
That are interested in art ?

Of topic:Any art students/graduates maybe?

Sean

Sorry, apparently they're closer to 16cm x 16cm each. She'll add to the collection with more guitarists as soon as they've found their place in Gearhead's studio. They're quite small, so 9 - 15 of them could look nice ?

Keira-WitherKay

awesome work ilse ..... well done............... you truly captured the vibe of the artists ........ mmmmm ever thought of a "50/20/10 greatest guitarists of all time exhibition " sure they'd not just be admired but they'd sell too.............

These are great. If I was her I'd pursue this theme. In every way. I saw an exquisite oil of Hendrix at an exhibition recently and it far outshone everything else there. I hope she has an exhibition and has great success!

I would be interested in a set ?

Very cool indeed :yup:

She'd love to do that as soon as she's come up with a nice pseudonym because her personal work, under which she markets herself , is very different from this and much more conceptual. She's always loved doing portraits in her free time. Thanks, I'll pass along the message.

I'll see how Gearhead feels about it ?
I'm sure she'd love to do other sets some time ?

Will tell her, thanks!!

Seventhson

I would love a couple with some thrash metal and gary moore ones.

I must confess that I find myself asking "yes... who dat?" Of the 6 faces here I can make out Hendrix, Clapton, Moore and Vaughan (Stevie Ray, not Jimmy). But then... err... ja.... well. One COULD be Robert Johnson but strikes me as looking more like James Jamerson. The 6th? George Thorogood?

I'm out of touch. I probably also need a new guide dog.

Sean

LOL thanks Bob, I was wondering when someone would start putting some names to the faces. I thought 2 of them would be challenging, but you did get the Robert Johnson one. The 6th? Well, that one is my personal favourite, also one of my favourite guitarists ? ... we'll see if anyone can name him.

chris77

Jeff Buckley? ???

lindsmuse

Peter Frampton?

Actually I see now that the one with the glasses is me. I suppose I should be flattered. Now that I know it's Robert Johnson, and not Muddy Waters after 2 weeks on slimming pills, that leaves but one. A sort of cave man-ish face, but we know it's not George Thorogood. Possibly a young Gilmour after a couple of really good shrooms.

Sean

Maybe this will help?

aubs1

Tuff one Sean............why do I think it's Jim Morrison ..............? Not that I was a fanatic Doors fan......

this is fun!!!....... what's the prize for getting it??

Bob-Dubery

Jislaaik Aubs! Even half-blind, grey-haired, totally-out-of-touch me knows that that's Jeff Healy.

lindsmuse

I swear he was my first choice but thought he was only a singer! (Don't know much about the Doors). ?
