Miles Davis: Kind of.... Sweet

Lately, I've been getting back into Miles Davis. It all started when i got:

Oh man, this album is amazing. It's the perfect funky, sit on your porch and let the summer sun go down album. Miles himself is pretty funky-looking, so today at work I started drawing him...

which was okay... but i really wanted to capture his creepy face...

I kept thinking, "What makes him look so creepy?" I've decided it's a combination of his sweet chops (from his embouchure while playing the trumpet) and his gigantic eyes. More Miles to come!!!

re-creation




i'm reworking my business card while listening to a lot of langhorne slim. i'm a little stuck though. i'm thinking maybe more birds... this seems a bit static for my taste. i think i'll drink a glass of wine and mull it over.

CS3! finally! i've been playing around with this old print, and though it's not finished, i'm quite happy with this version. I'm loving the painterliness of it.
