    Thanks Pinky… it’s actually something we’ve had in the archives for a while now. It was one of the first images Mike did for Zazzle but it got ‘banned’ for some kind of copyright thing even though it’s an interpretation he did completely on his own. I never could figure out how this one was a problem yet so many others on Zazzle got by okay… but you know how they are…

    I’ve long said “Haitian Fight Song” has one of the sickest bass riffs in music history. Mingus was the man. Great portrait. I’m impressed.

    Thanks! I’m sorry if I’ve misled you though – Mike is the one who drew this – I only added the color, textures, light and shadows.

    Glad you like it!!
