Jack White Inspired by his recent Blunderbuss tour, with his favourite blue color. I've wanted to do a portrait with one of his hats, and this pose reminded me a bit of Clockwork Orange's Malcolm McDowell. Dedicated to my friend ~GuitarLuv and all you Jack White fans!

It's so amazing! I can't believe you can make him look so life like ^-^ and I couldn't help but smile that you dedicated this painting to me As always your work never ceases to blow me away. lol if you haven't seen his new music vid "shakin" check it out the concept is so cool
aww, thanks! well you're a huge Jack White fan and suggested I do him in a hat, which was a great idea And it's more of an up-to-date one of him, as well... I must check out his new video, he comes out with such great stuff! I loved his one for 16 saltines
Your welcome in so glad your painting came out so amazing with his hat! I love how for this album he is all into the pastel blues and black as a combination. It's like with the white stripes he had the color combo of red, white, and black. Have you also checked out his music video for freedom at 21? I love that one too
That's a GREAT song, Freedom at 21! I love it! I'm not sure about the "Blues on Two Trees" ...not because Jack can't pull it off...if anyone can, he can...I'm not usually a big fan of rap...do you like it? He loves being minimalist, or like he says "putting limitations on himself forces him to be creative"...you've probably seen this, you may have sent me the link, I forget...it's been awhile, but I love what he says on this video (from White Stripes under the great northern lights documentary!)

Once again, another fantastic job! I love how you painted the eyes and his face (the flesh really looks like it is sitting in all the right places when a person has their head tilted). I like the color palette you used as well, the warm colors and smoky brush strokes behind him make me feel like he's standing on stage and the lights are hitting against him =] (btw when I received a comment from you on the Keith Emerson painting, it only said "He", so I think DeviantArt did something crazy there, haha).
