IF – Legendary One legendary guitarist and his legendary guitar. Interesting fact no.62. Eric Clapton’s guitar, “Blackie”, so named because it was, er, black, sold for $959,500.00 in 1994 making the most expensive guitar sold at auction ever! Another of Eric’s guitars “Brownie”, guess what colour that was?, sold for a paltry $450,000 by comparison, but at least I got some change from that one! Illustrator and Photoshop
Wow Paul! Great likeness and lots of fun! Love the little info on Blackie and Brownie. Great work. A legendary guitarist, with his legendary guitar, illustrated by the legendary artist himself

Very cool illustration. Love the feel of it. It’s a shame celebrities don’t always get to see the illustrations of themselves.
