What a perfect contest entry. What perfect timing for this particular Art. . . B B King. . . I had the pleasure of seeing him in concert a little over a year ago. I enjoyed it immensely. This is a fine piece of work. I especially like that you chose purple for his outfit. Purple combines the calm stability of blue and the fierce energy of red. The color purple is often associated with royalty, nobility, luxury, power, and ambition. Purple also represents meanings of wealth, extravagance, creativity, wisdom, dignity, grandeur, devotion, peace, pride, mystery, independence, and magic. So, I give you an A+ for your color choice. Hmm, just thinking out loud. . .I have a miniature version of his magical "Lucille" guitar (that you have so well displayed within your art) with carrying case and all. . .curious what it is worth now, today. . .compared to a week ago. . .hmm
Excellent overall. Thank you for this Art of a man that will be missed by many such as myself.

I just watched the Billboard awards tribute to BB King and it was just beautiful. The best part was that my kids didn't realize he did "Stand By Me" and like this song. Your artwork is beautiful and the colors in his jacket are just perfect. Thanks for the memories.

This is lovely, at first I thought it was graphic design or digital art... The highlights and colours are wonderful, The detailing on his jacket too. Man you must keep the sharpie company in business, I bet you go through them like crazy :)
May I ask how big this is and how long it took you? I also notice you manage to avoid the dark and patchy way that markers can go when covering large areas, is it just practise or is there a trick to it?

A great depiction of a wonderful musician. He had a long gifted life. He once said he wanted to die on stage or in his bed. I am happy God granted him that wish. This is a lovely work of art. I love your flower shots, but this is something special. The expression on BB's face shows his love and delight in music. The shadows, care with detail and his beloved Lucille honor him and showcase what a great talent you have. It deserves the recognition it has received. thanks for sharing
