Ink, colored pencil, metallic paint.
As any guitar should
be…

One of my
earlier works,
1995,
pencil and charcoal,
of Guitar Joe,
thinking
about…
guitar pics,
chords,
lead lines,
rhythm,
harmonies,
the next tune
…
and maybe
coffee.

This pencil
rendering
features
Detroit Slim,
strummin’
that thang.
Be sure to
catch
a listen
to this
SNL closing theme.

The musician
played guitar,
lost in the rhythms
and lead licks
while nearby,
the moment
came alive
on paper,
strumming lines,
loose,
fast,
pure folly,
whimsical,
with no sense
of what might
appear.
