There was a time once when I decided to take a break from the brush and do some illustrations. / This was the result of one such session.. “The Fat Duck Cafe”. I put the names of several famous old jazz clubs on his guitar case and even included one that is out of place but a few of you might know (The Gov and The Basement). - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - - - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - -
Design from original oil on canvas painting by Leith O’Malley.
Featured in All the Colours of the Rainbow. / Voted Most Popular entry in Your Favourite Musical Instrument.. / Featured in If It Doesn’t Belong. / Featured in Digital Brushstrokes. Digital composite image of saxophonist Peter Fraser, who’s been playin’ da blues till it got under his skin. Below are some of the photos I used to compile this image. This is my favourite instrument cos Peter played it beautifully while we were doing the shoot (in front of my workshop)! Other than that, I play guitar badly!

EXCEPT, while it still runs through Phoenix Appeal, these proceeds will go to the RED CROSS VICTORIAN BUSHFIRE APPEAL. Check out my web site for twisted IRONy metal sculpture.
revolutionary for its time, the shape of the fender bass headstock has become an icon of the 20th century

This photo is of Cindy Blackman – a fine, awesome drummer who blew me away. Not only is she a great musician, she presented herself as one of the most interesting subjects to photograph! If you’re interested in seeing more of our work, please visit our client site

This is a remarkable still life on a number of levels; the composition of saxophone, trumpet and paint palette, the lighting from a blue neon sign (reflected in the sax) and the setting sun (window reflection on trumpet bell) and the mastery of that color and light. This Paul Jackson watercolor is one of a series by the artist featuring musical instruments. “Jazz in Blues” won best of show at the Keystone Nation Watercolor Exhibition 2008

BEST VIEWED LARGE. :) One in my musical themed series I’ve been working on this past week. Inspired by the music in my life. I grew up in a musical family and get-togethers and/or holidays were often spent singing in the living room with various family members playing instruments. I’m sure the neighbors enjoyed it as well. :) Here’s how it looks matted & framed: /
/ What happens when the guy with your lights and needed equipment blows you off? You use what you have to create what you wish for. Your eye, your sense of light and wonder…Lamps at various angles, and flashlights, against a backdrop that is pleasing… and one mighty fine, and amazing musician and his beautiful upright… / Steve Rust, thank you.
