Stevie Ray Vaughan - October 3, 1954 - August 20, 1990
He is my all time favorite artist. His guitar seemed to me not to be a musical instrument when he played it, but an extension of himself. He didn't play his music, he was the music. If you ever saw him live, or viewed any of his concert footage, you saw that he put his soul into it. No one wielded a guitar like that before him, and no one has since. My rendition of him may not be worthy of this board, but he's worthy of it so this is where he goes.

I'm working from a photograph taken during one of his live performances.

I was going to wait until this was a little more presentable before I took it off of "hidden", but it's a very long way from being finished and it's kind of boring working on it without someone to talk to while I do it.

"presentable"?? Crikey Cindy, this is wonderful already! You're right about Stevie too. He was amazing.
emmamommalag (Sep 8, 2004)
Looks a lot like him.. good job so far.

Wow...too good. Eric Clapton once said that Stevie Ray Vaughan could play circles around him.

It's gonna be worth it. I love the backlit hair and the texture you achieved in the hat.
Axil62 (Sep 11, 2004)
Great hands.
DeadlyBlondeArcher (Sep 11, 2004)
The hands are really okay so far? I'm afraid to work on them. I'm scared of them!!! Helllp! He has such great hands, too, you can tell they are overworked... knobby knuckles and great veins and stuff.

I'm not gonna want to do anything more complicated than, say, fingerpainting, by the time I finish this.
