Ricardo Cavolo Worship

You know when you see the work of an artist and you just want to be them and you want to be able to do what they do so badly and you honestly don't know how they do it as it is clearly so personal to them and therefore you realise you could never do what they do and it makes you sad? Do you? (Breathe!) Well for me that artist is Ricardo Cavolo.

Here are a collection of some illustrations he made of a number of rock and roll royals. Do you think if I look at them long enough I'll absord his genius? No? Me neither. Oh well, enjoy:

NEW YORK DOLLS

Another commission for Big Hands who are throwing an after-gig-shindig for what should be an amazing event at the neighbouring Academy. I was asked to use an original b&w photograph of the band from the 70s but I just couldn't resist making my own drawing of it and using lots of super-trashy colours and prints.
