Lzzy Hale - Halestorm
Just discovered this band this week, (Yes, I know I'm late to the party)-thanks Beth,
But they are Epic, Lzzy's voice is one of those rare superstar straight out of the gate uber brilliant. I will be checking them out live when they come over next month..

Queen -One Vision

If you don't like the Brian I won't be offended, I don't like it either..I need to do a different version of him..He 's looking up at an odd angle which doesn't look like him and is tricky to draw..I have the compulsion to plug in my electric razor (whatever that is)

Early 70's Freddie

Just done a couple of early 70's Freddie's, when he was all cheekbones and hair.... 8-)

These drawing are almost a pair..

“When we lost Freddie, we not only lost a great personality, a man with a great sense of humour, a true showman, but we lost probably the best, the really, the best virtuoso rock ‘n’ roll singer of all time. He could sing anything in any style. He could change his style from line to line and, God, that’s an art. And he was brilliant at it.” – Roger Daltrey

“People are always asking me what my lyrics mean. Well I say what any decent poet would say if you dared ask him to analyse his work: if you see it, darling, then it`s there.” – Freddie Mercury

“Years ago, I thought up the name Queen…It`s just a name, but it`s very regal obviously, and it sounds splendid…It`s a strong name, very universal and immediate. It had a lot of visual potential and was open to all sorts of interpretations. I was certainly aware of the gay connotations, but that was just one facet of it.” – Freddie Mercury

A pyramid of obsidian straw- an ode to Gene Simmons 'hair'

A pyramid of obsidian straw - an ode to Gene Simmons 'hair'

Gene! Gene! Burning bright

He's a Creature of the night

what immortal hand or hairdresser

could frame thy fearful symmetry of plumage?

A pyramid of obsidian straw

cascading as a waterfall of rigidity

control freakery in earthy form

aquanet rigor mortis

stoicism in extremis

it standing firm, failing none

whilst enemies crumble

Samson in reverse
