Philip Lynott Portrait Print. This is my all-time favorite portrait of Philip -and Philip loved it too. The very tight pencil drawing was originally prepared for the man himself for an illustrated book of his lyrics.

THE STORY OF THE DRAWING
——————————————-
This is my all-time favorite portrait of Philip -and Philip loved it too. The very tight pencil drawing was originally prepared for the man himself for an illustrated book of his lyrics. Philip had a real love of poetry and for all the macho stuff he used as a distraction, he was easily hurt. I tried to portray this sensitivity in this portrait. A painted version of this work was also used on the cover of the Decca album, ‘Saga of the Ageing Vagabonds’.
The original artwork is quite a small and detailed work, about 8”x10”, so the print really shows it properly -and does it justice.
