Artist's Comments

Following on from the previous entry, the original source of this transcribed drawing again features Mark E Smith, pictured at a live Fall gig, probably the better part of 25 years earlier than the portrait image.

The diamond patterned sweater of course makes numerous art historical references, from the tiled floors that often feature in Vermeer's paintings to our old friend the Modernist grid, particularly in this instance Mondrian's diamond, diagonal format canvases.

Oh my god, this is amazing.

Thanks, you're very kind. Listening to the music helped with this one, I think :-)

I may start a drawing of him tonight or something...

That sounds like a good idea - I think as many people as possible should.
Have fun.
