Robert James Smith Detail_00008901
Available for sale - This is a detail of an illustration I did in 1989 for an album concept for the cure. I used mixed media Acrylic paint and colored pencil employing the airbrush, brush, alcohol and salt. The lead singer Robert Smith of the Cure was the subject of the portrait. I was experimenting with lots of techniques to get this hyper real, tight and loose portrayal. I layered brushwork, pencil and airbrush back and forth to create depth and transparency all over the place. It was fun! Again the eyes were important to me and what they expressed. I hope you enjoy this slice of the early 90’s post punk scene.
