Musician Portraits (2010)

John Butler.

A playful portrait of the essence of John Butler with hippie and politically charged persona. In the image he's leading a group of protestors (fighting for the environment, against government -things evident in Butler's songs). In the foreground John Butler is holding his guitar like a protest board, conveying the idea that he himself protests through his songs, through his music.




Angus & Julia Stone.

A whimsical painting of the brother sister duo, sitting in the dunes along the coast. I wanted to convey a kind of childlike innocence and wonder, as can be heard in their songs.



Flight of the Conchords.

With this piece I wanted to make a humorous image and a little bit dark as well (like the show). The funny part I suppose is the two of them playing one guitar. The subtle darkness is in their stance and expressions- unsure of themselves and looking a little lost.
