Illustration: Jim Morrison portrait

A few months ago after completing the Amy Winehouse portrait I decided it might be a good idea to work on a few more portraits of great people that passed at the age of 27. I decided to call the series ‘Twenty7Club’ and This piece is the next instalment in the series. So far I have completed portraits on Amy Winehouse, Jimi Hendrix and now Jim Morrison.

I have a few more portraits started for this series which will be named at a later date – these be on show at an exhibition called Mythic27 with Artaq in Paris so I cannot show these until the exhibition opens.

This piece took over 20 hours to complete, I began work on it 8th November 2011 and completed it 21st January 2012, I have not been working on it solidly due to the festive break, Christmas shopping etc.

I posted progress pics of this piece up to the final outcome on Facebook and will be selling a very limited amount of prints on our online store, Papermarks.co.uk.
