Artist's Comments

Ian Curtis frontman of legendary Post Punk/Indie band Joy Division. ([link])

Next person to be done: Richey James Edwards.

(Okay I feel truly wrong that so far all my "Rock Legends" have been white males, but I personally can't think of many female artists who've come to a tragic end except for, Janis Joplin, Kirsty MacColl and Karen Carpenter (What I find weird is that female artists aren't as idolised as their male counterparts within the music industry, but my own music taste is also to blame). And I listen to none of them, so it'd be insincere to do a portrait of them. As for the for black artists Jimi Hendrix is the obvious choice, and that's the exact reason I withdrew from doing his portrait. Plus strangely I've never bought any of Hendrix's music, that needs to be fixed. Marvin Gaye is another artist, I haven't listened to ^^;. Also Artists that should really go on this list that aren't are: "John Lennon", "Jim Morrision", "Sid Vicious", "Kurt Cobain", "Keith Moon", etc)

Remarkable portrait (and great musician). Your really captured the sadness in his eyes. Beautiful tones in the flesh and the hair, and the hands look very natural curled around the mike.

This moment is so great, I would cheat on that other moment from before, marry this one and raise a family of tiny little moments...

Thanks very much. I was getting worried that his hands and hair would look pretty crap to be honest. ^^; So thanks for the reassurance Zac. :)

Yeah Ian was a great musician, I seem to be jumping between Joy Division two albums, the Manics The Holy Bible, Nick Drake stuff, and The Libertines all this summer. In other words depressing stuff, lol. (Especially the Manics, which'll be covered in my next "Rock Legends" submissions, when I tackle Richey Edwards effeminate form)

Thanks very much, glad you think that the shading is strong. :)

Sorry, I listed Kurt within the group of artists I wouldn't do. I love Nirvana, but the thing is everyone knows who Kurt Cobain is, I feel like I should cover the artists who've enjoyed only Cult success.

Maybe I'll revisit this series, add Kurt at a later date. :)

Yeah I'll think about it after I complete the first half of this series. (When the Jeff Buckley "Rock Legends" is submited I'll see if I'll return tlo this concept, or go back to Manga)

Thanks.

Yeah they were truly amazing, I just can't get into New Order though, don't ask why as I have no idea, but they sound near enough unrecogniseable.
