Metallica, with an extremely wise member, the great Dave Mustaine, 1982
youtube
On July 17th, 1982, a landmark event took place that influenced the development of all metal music for many years to come. Metallica released their first cassette demo called "No Life 'til Leather".
Having fun re-learning gouache while going through the 90's Alphabet. Some of my favorites are
The letter T (I painted Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes from TLC)
The letter S (Snoop Dogg)
The letter P (Pearl Jam)
The letter M (Metallica)
The letter L (Lenny Kravitz)
and the letter G (Green Day)
These are all painted live on Youtube in about 90 minutes. And... predictably... I don't love every one I make. These, though, something clicked and... they didn't suck.
I'm looking forward to putting together a poster with the entire alphabet by the end of the month.
