Summer 2007
16 X 20 Thelonious Monk poster (edition of 2000) is finished and has been mailed out (or is in the process of it). Did I miss you? E mail your name and address and I’ll see what I can do.
This print is an outtake from the Carnegie Hall CD with John Coltrane, 2005. I only recently inked it, 2 years after the CD’s release. Why now? Well at the time Blue Note wouldn’t pay the $300 redraw so I just left them with the computer rendering. It went on to sell quite well for Blue Note.
Fast forward to this year: Doug Yoel of Thelonious Records calls asking about it and I firgured well its time to just do this. Same size as the Coltrane print but more of a Picasso omage with all the white space. This style of likeness is not easy, especially when committees are involved.
