Artwork description:

This print is about on of my favourite singers, the amazing Erykah Badu. I remember being in a record shop in London (Soul Brother Records) when I first heard her. I was flicking through some records and the guy behind the counter drop her first 12", On and On, I listened to a few seconds of it, couldn't believe my ears and turned round to ask "who's this?!?" at exactly the same time as all the other customers in the shop...naturally, we all left with a copy. ............................................................................................ This piece is partly painted and partly screen printed. I paint the background and sides, print the design and paint any detail of the design that goes round the sides. unlike my prints on paper that are printed in a run and numbered accordingly I dont number the woodboard pieces as i paint and print them one at a time, finishing off painting detail on the sides. so i dont see these as strictly prints but more like one-off pieces as they are hand-made even though i do several of them. This piece has a whole drilled in the back at the top so are ready to hang.

Materials used:

Acrylic paint on mdf woodboard
