Artwork description:

This is a portrait of free Jazz musician Pharoah Sanders. I love his music and he's just got one of those faces that I just really wanted to work with. The finished design kinda reminds me of the king in a pack of playing cards, i'm happy with that though, I always thought the king looked very cool. ............................................................................................ 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
