You captured the artist at his finest moment. Your imagination shows creativity and your style sets the painting apart from other renditions. Liked the focal point of his face connected to the guitar which stands out with white contrasted with the deep purple colors. Shows emotion and energy. Nicely done-HEK

Nice rendition of Hendricks "Purple Haze".
Just listened to it tonight on the Alice Cooper show.
Great detail and emotion conveyed by the body stance.
Well done!
Thank you for sharing!

Another great work of art by M.K.F. ! His excellent pointillistic technique is immediately recognizable. His highlights and shadows make lesser artists weep. His skin tones and color palette are inspirational. cainse

I am in awe of your sharpie work. Having worked with them for years (not in your capacity), I find I really do not know how one can actually create this kind of artwork with them. Amazing. Love your attention to detail and perfect work.

    screw up throw away..try again..after awhile and so many screw ups one can learn what they can and cannot do..i just started teaching myself over the several decades to see what u have now..but im still trying this and that to. i dont have all the answers..just a road map to where i have been with them. thanks for the excellent review.

Comment from annie-angel


i think there sould be a separate category for sharpie markers!! it takes a unique skill and committment. i love what you did with this. it "pops" and all the purple seems to glow. the white of the guitar is a great contrast. the light is amazing and it looks like water drops in it. how do you get all the detail and all the realism with such a difficult medium? i thought i was special because i will only use one kind of pencil, lol! annie

    oh i have been verbally beating up over the deaces of using this medium..i have had people try to offer me the use of many mediums..kinda like the movie "quigly down under".."just because i dont carry a gun dont me i dont know how to use one"..im the smae way with them all..oil..acrylics..watercolors and so on..but i always kept coming back to mysharpies..thanks for the great review.

A great shot of him getting his rock on. Love the purple in the spotlight and outfit. The texture you gave him makes it look like velvet! Great white guitar. Another amazing piece.
