Next up in either the Rush collection or supergroup collection is the late Neil Peart, one of the greatest drummers of all time and an amazing writer of lyrics.
It's another instantly recognisable portrait to the small minority of people out there who knew who Rush were. So I'm happy with that. The variegated background is also good, as are the white highlights on the hat and T-shirt. But the best bit about this one is the clean lines on the face. A combination of thin lines from a rollerball and thick lines from a marker worked out well on this one, resulting in something that looks like it belongs in a comic. In fact, the last two works have both looked cartoony, something that wasn't deliberate and had taken me by surprise. It looks pretty good.
Obviously more to come In the collection before this goes up for sale.
