Description

Keith Emerson, of Emerson, Lake and Palmer

Classic Prog Rock! My tribute to great keyboard wizard Keith, brilliant composer and performer. Emerson, Lake and Palmer were known for their amazing stage effects, from fire and knives to a cannon and a levitating piano. He was also the first person to use a Moog synthesizer on a rock concert stage. 

This illustration is featured in Progression Magazine issue #69, with a great tribute article to Keith Emerson:  www.progressionmagazine.com/keith-emerson.html 

note: 4/22/2016 : Keith was daring and brilliant, always taking risks and pushing his limits artistically.   I had promised two years ago that I would re-paint his right hand for him. The original painting needed correcting, and I put it off because a Moog is kind of a pain to paint. Sadly I am reminded that time waits for no one. I'm really going to miss him.

He’s partly the reason why I’m into synthesizers.
