Good job! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :) :hi: :blowkiss:

Thank you, He was a favourite of mine in the 1980's and after he did work with Kate Bush, I kind of moved away from him. I think his attraction for me was his flare for the dressing up and painting his face, he had bits of Glam rock about him, I have about four other sketches of him I’ll turn into paintings one day. :grin: :8)

Shock the monkey! Hey Brian,have not forgotten your Time Tunnel piece,keep finding better reference to use,it may be a little bit longer than I planned but i think you will be pleased! Interesting subject,Peter Gabriel.Excellent! :grin: :thumbup: :8)

Thank you, Peter was a favourite of mine in the 80's after he left Genesis. I've done about four more sketches onf him will complete later. I've Had a little think about 'The Time Machine' and I will start a sketch off ready for a painting. :grin: :8)

 BeautifulDreamer79 - 15/01/09, 16:04 reply
Sounds good,yes alot of folks of my generation forget that Peter was the original singer of Genesis,and Phil Collins was the drummer instead of drumer/singer at the time I guess.Sledgehammer that video transfixed me everytime as a 5 year old boy,whew! Sounds good! :thumbup: :grin:

 brainfree - 15/01/09, 20:32 reply
I'm busy painting a few more memories, for you. :grin: :8)

 BeautifulDreamer79 - 15/01/09, 20:41 reply
Sounds good Brian,I finally decided on Time Tunnel,an old coloring book from 67' has lots of good ideas,a coloring book!?!? Ha!Look forward to it Brian! :thumbup: :grin: :8)

 brainfree - 15/01/09, 20:47 reply
Great, I'm a bit distaked by Peter G. at the moment. I have the Time Machine nearly ready. :grin: :8)

 BeautifulDreamer79 - 15/01/09, 20:57 reply
Sounds good,I have Greta Garbo,Mata Hari,and she is in desperate need right now missing an eye and with a face like that,it won't do! :D

Thank you Al, I like making pastiches of iconic posters or album covers it's what started me painting the craving for more perfect wprk first came pencil drawings of them then colour ones. :grin: :8)

 pmcmicheal - 13/01/09, 21:54 reply
"SHOCK" Very cool! I love Peter Gabriel Very nice colors here! Accurate too.

 brainfree - 15/01/09, 11:00 reply
Thank you, If you read the comment above this it's how I started painting. The wanting to paint a pefect copy or in art we say pastiche has got me into trouble a few times. I have had a lot of people saying I'm cheating I now try to make differences between my work and others. I like Peter Gabriel manly from the 80's which was a time of incredible change, so many wonderful people involved in art or entertainment. As for accurate I practice painting every day and it works. :grin: :8) Anthing is possible. :ok: :grin:

Merci Alain, juste une visite de mon passé, il y a 20 ans quand j'étais un tireur, j'a essayé de dessiner cet artiste, il était terrible j'était très frustrant. Jour du neuf I je réussirais. :grin: :8)

 brainfree - 15/01/09, 10:43 reply
Thank you, well if you wanted to say the right thing, then saying I'm different makes you a friend for ever. I love different not in a flash kind of way but original and with style. I can give on piece of advise and that is for noew your imagination out strips your technical skils now but one day it woun't and on that day you will draw or paint anything you want, it's true I am an example only two years ago I was not who I am today. Practice, patience and perseverance. :grin: :8) Anything is possible if you try. ;) :ok:

Thank you, it's a classic LP cover from the 80's it is almost a copy. I'm working on another weird one where he is a swirly face. Wait and see, it's interesting, it will take time, he is a rich source of faces. :grin: :8)
