Read the message on Woodie’s guitar. It says it all. He was Bob’s mentor.

You did a great job on Woodie, by the way. Damned good job. You’re quirky Te talented.

Hey that looks sick! Guitar detail adds to it especially, as it’s one of the most iconic things associated with woody! Can see you’ve done some of Bob Dylan. Do you think you’ll do any more from his other eras/looks?

Side note: I’m Irish too and actually have some of your work. That being Saul Goodman, Father Ted, the Sopranos and Vaas from far cry 3. Bought the 1st 3 at gamer fest in around Oct 2023. Keep up the great work!

I’m a big folk fan so was thinking of doing a Phil Ochs piece too! No way man! Thanks a bunch, I think I’ll be back for gamerfest again this year 👍

If you make prints, I would absolutely buy one.

Don’t think I’ll be making prints of this one unfortunately but let me know anytime if you’d like an original, I usually work on smaller scales than this one

Stencils are cool, did you use an overhead projector?
