Buddy Rich and Marlyn Monroe...

If you don't know who Buddy Rich is....Then your stupid! You should really check him out. He is one of the best jazz drummers in the world. And I have the pleasure of painting him. The painting is 4x5 foot. This will be the biggest painting I have done. Well, besides the 10 foot tall guitar. That doesn't count. Willie Nelson was small on it.
Anyway, I wanted to post his progress as I paint it. So here's some pics of what I have so far.





I'm also doing a painting of Marlyn Monroe. It will be called "Baby got back!". Ill post updates on her as well.
