It's a tough assignment, and I don't know where things will take us. That's the magic ;]

Depends on the subject that I'm writing about. For example, the Boston hardcore scene in the 80s was all about anger and aggression. Prince is more about my ability to understand his process. Brian Wilson is about psychological torment.

Both. It's a continuous journey with mile markers (artists) along the way.

No certain style in mind. It's called art for a reason ;]

As it stands right now, it's not a paid gig.

Please send a portfolio link.

Thanks for sending. What I see is interesting, but it's mostly character art, which is probably not the right feel for what I have in mind.

Do you have a portfolio I can look at?
June 24, 2025 at 3:22 PM
Yes. Please see my previous posts for a description, etc.

The "White Lies" piece is interesting. Anything else I can look at?

Please take a look at my previous posts for a description.

Mostly a memoir about my relationship to music and musicians/creators. Nothing set in stone regarding the artwork. When I see it, I'll know it.

Mostly a memoir about my relationship to music and musicians/creators. How does the death of an artist affect me? How did I live with them, and how do I move forward without them? How do I understand that my "friends" will be dying for the rest of my life?
