View of Annapurna, A1, watercolor on paper, 1991. I did not bring a camera when I visited Nepal and India in 1991, just some sketchbooks and paper.
Nina Simone, ink on paper, 12x20 cm, c. 1986. Early portraits of musicians anticipating the Top 100 illustrations.
Donna Summer-Selfie, pen and ink on paper, 8.5"x5.5", 2017. There were several side projects to the Top 100. The funniest one is a large series of pen drawings in which I insert myself into known record sleeves.
Tirudel Zenebe, pen on paper, A5, 2022. To concerts, I bring a sketchbook. This one was made during Music Fest in Nijmegen, NL.
Top 100 2009: T-Model Ford, 10"x18", pencil on paper, 2009, signed by the musician. Drawn from a live performance in Ohio. After the concert I walked up to him to and asked him to sign the drawing. He did, and I realized then that he probably never learned how to write.
