🎶 Take a high dive into your brain And you make your lonely course You just might wear your welcome out if you don't let it go... Foo Fighters ~ "It's a Cold Day in the Sun" Taylor Hawkins Stained Glass Window with a special commission and a quick portrait. Fantastic subject to present within my series of stained glass window illustrations and hopefully a fitting tribute to the late drummer. The colours were lifted from Foo Fighter albums and the famous drumkits Taylor used. The idea was to create a bright, cheerful image to reflect his public persona. #TaylorHawkins #FooFighters #StainedGlass #ClipStudioPaint #digitalart #illustration https://www.instagram.com/p/CcTZbuOMmWO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

🎶 Underneath the bridge Tarp has sprung a leak And the animals I've trapped Have all become my pets And I'm living off of grass And the drippings from my ceiling It's okay to eat fish Cause they don't have any feelings... ~ Nirvana " Something In The Way" Still very much a work in progress, the second in my musician inspired stained glass windows. It was this day 28 years ago Kurt Cobain was found lifeless in his Seattle home, he had died a few days previous. Drawn using Clip Studio Paint. #KurtCobain #Nirvana #ClipStudioPaint #StainedGlass #illustration #portrait #digitalart (at Donaghadee) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcGj4LOMKLX/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

🎼 I'm so happy 'cause today I found my friends They're in my head I'm so ugly, that's okay, 'cause so are you Broke our mirrors Sunday morning is everyday, for all I care And I'm not scared Light my candles in a daze 'Cause I've found God... ~ Kurt Cobain "Lithium" More practice using Clip Studio Paint. The portrait is for a larger, more detailed piece but I decided to give it a background and create a separate, stand alone, painting. It's my little tribute to Kurt Cobain, who died 28 years ago this week. #KurtCobain #Nirvana #portrait #ClipStudioPaint (at Donaghadee) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcEFli_MMt4/?utm_medium=tumblr

🎼 "And now my bitter hands Cradle broken glass Of what was everything All the pictures have All been washed in black Tattooed everything All the love gone bad Turned my world to black Tattooed all I see All that I am All that I'll be..." ~ Pearl Jam "Black" An older piece revisited and, hopefully, improved. My original painting was my first attempt at creating a stained glass window digitally, after only taking up digital painting around 7 or 8 months previous. The original used a scanned in portrait I had original drawn with pencil on paper and coloured, this time I have drawn a portrait digitally and replaced the pencil one. I added a few more details and redrew the background. This is the result, all done using Clip Studio Paint. #EddieVedder #PearlJam #ClipStudio #ClipStudioPaint #Grunge #GrungeAesthetic (at Donaghadee) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cb-6QyQMNRy/?utm_medium=tumblr

❄️ Crunch, crunch, go the footsteps of the track maker. He is hunched and weary, using a tall staff to help him through the snow. He might have been an old man if it hadn't been many hundreds of moons since men trod these lands. Move closer, and instead you will see he is a rabbit, walking upright in the way people once did, his ears hidden beneath the hood of a heavy leather cloak, fierce eyes peer out at the wintry midnight world. ~ Kieran Larwood "Podkin One-Ear" Another illustration inspired by The Five Realms book series that I read with my son. We are starting book 3 after thoroughly enjoying the first two books in the series. I highly recommend giving them a read.

🦇 Then like a sinner before the gates of Heaven I'll come crawling on back to you... ~ Jim Steinman Micheal Lee Aday, better known as Meat Loaf, one of the stand out performers of his generation. Meat Loaf put rock opera firmly on the map with performances only rivalled by Queen. This is my tribute, which fittingly lend itself to my Red Series of portraits. #Meatloaf #meatloafmusic #RobertPaulson #BatOutOfHell #portraits #sketch_daily #sketchbook #Staedtler #Strathmore #hashtalent #portraitstudy #portrait_perfection #academic_artworks (at Donaghadee) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZC8luOsZhi/?utm_medium=tumblr

🎶 Freezin' Rests his head on a pillow made of concrete again Oh, feelin' Maybe he'll see a little betters, any days... ~ Pearl Jam "Even Flow" An almost finished idea I've been toying with for almost a year of musicians in traditional stained glass windows. My first attempt features Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder. This is my second piece using Clip Studio Paint. #EddieVedder #PearlJam #StainedGlass #Grunge #Music #Musician #hash_talent (at Donaghadee) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWLXu0XM3Ea/?utm_medium=tumblr

🎶 Cover me with kisses, baby Cover me with love Roll me in designer sheets I'll never get enough Emotions come, I don't know why Cover up love's alibi... ~ Blondie "Call Me" After installing Clip Studio Paint yesterday I thought I'd give it a bash. This is my attempt at Debbie Harry, lead singer of 70s, 80s and 90s New Wave sensation Blondie. #DebbieHarry #Blondie #Punk #NewWave #portrait #ClipStudio #ClipStudioPaint #portrait_perfection #Illustration #illustrateyourworld #illustrationartists #hash_talent (at Donaghadee) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVtPnnQMIwh/?utm_medium=tumblr

🎶 Generals gathered in their masses Just like witches at black masses Evil minds that plot destruction Sorcerer of death's construction In the fields, the bodies burning As the war machine keeps turning Death and hatred to mankind Poisoning their brainwashed minds Oh lord, yeah! ~ Black Sabbath Another sketchbook piece inspired by 2000AD comics. This time of Rogue Trooper, my favourite as a teen. Fine liners and markers in my sketchbook. #2000AD #RogueTrooper #Rogue #Inktober (at Donaghadee) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVNikXdIcBZ/?utm_medium=tumblr

🎶 One, two, one, two, three, four I met you, girl, you didn't have no shoes Now you're walking 'round like you're front page news You've been awful, careful 'bout the friends you choose But, you won't have my name in your book of who's who ~ The Monkees A little step by step sequence of how I came up with my Hellboy sketch. I have always relied heavily on references to create pieces, especially well-known fantasy characters but recently, through practice and following artist like @mrleecarter and @dylanteague I'm building up confidence to create my own drawings, without reference. #Hellboy #Mignola #fantasy #fantasyart #traditional (at Donaghadee) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVLMv9XMBC_/?utm_medium=tumblr

🎶 Can you cough it up loud and strong The immigrants, they wanna sing all night long It could be anywhere Most likely could be any frontier Any hemisphere No man's land There ain't no asylum here King Solomon he never lived 'round here Straight to hell boy Go straight to hell boy Go straight to hell boys Go straight to hell boys ~ The Clash Some late night doodling with markers in the sketchbook produced my first ever attempt at Mike Mignola's incredible Hellboy. I've been a big fan for years and especially loved Guillermo Del Toro's interpretation with Ron Perlman perfectly cast as the titular character. #Hellboy #Mignola #DelToro #sketchbook #traditional #inktober #Promarker #fantasy (at Donaghadee) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVKW_e2M-zE/?utm_medium=tumblr
