Description
Every year around his anniversary or birthday I feel compelled to do something to remember my close friend, and collaborator, Thin Lizzy frontman, poet, and songwriter, Philip Lynott.
I had intended to have this one finished in time for his anniversary on January 4, 2022.
As usual, it took a lot longer so it was ready two weeks later. Not that it mattered to anyone except myself but now it is time to release it as a print in time for his birthday commemorations on the 20th of August this year.
The image was inspired by a photograph by our late friend Mick Rock, who also did so many other great images including the amazing cover photo for Queens ‘Bohemian Rhapsody and a huge volume of work for David Bowie, another iconic figure himself.
Usually, my Lizzy artwork is flat line art with colour added but this is a work on linen canvas in pen, ink and acrylic.
It is a little different from my usual take on Philip but it works I hope and will find its place in the gallery of images that I am creating for my wonderful, charismatic, and generous late friend and do him justice.
