"Songs Me Da Got Pissed To"

Pen and ink drawing with an added wash of Guinness Stout. This drawing was a commission for the Boston pub band “The Gobshites”. They will use the drawing as cover art for their new cd “Songs Me Da Got Pissed To”. The portraits onn the wall are JFK and the band leader’s “Da”.

I developed the technique for painting with stout after I spilled a drop of Guinness on my sketchbook while sketching session musicians at a local Irish pub.

Brilliant Alice..The detail, especially on the instruments is amazing. Love the Stout wash, you are a clever lady…

great! each person actually looks like an individual!

I amagine each person is in fact an individual albeit all awash in the same pint of Guinness. Great drawing and i particularly like that the Bodhran player is a punk!

I hope so Gregory. I’m not a graphic designer. It will be interesting to see how the cd design turns out!

This is fantastic!! Each person has so much character. I really laughed at ‘Gobshites’ too!
