Kurt Cobain 20/02/1967 to 05/04/1994

Kurt Cobain was the lead singer and guitarist of the grunge rock band Nirvana and sadly commited suicide on the 5th of april 1994 in a spate of deep depression.

This portrait was inspired by a photo taken by the very tallented photographer Julian Broad at the Maida vale studios in London.
The original photo was head and shoulders and i have cropped the composition to draw focus to the eye,,the window to the soul and try to show the inner despair of Kurt.
R.I.P Kurt we miss you.
Also on Deviant Art under user name-coxzee.
Original is available for sale framed in a black frame with ivory 2" mount size 14″×11″ for £160.00 plus p&p,please email me if interested.
