Entry to @sammosk #creativecomp contest: Tribute to Stevie Ray Vaughan
Two pigeons with a bean: I already wanted to do this post and as long as I saw @sammosk contest (you can find it here) I decided to do it as a entry to this challenge.
SRV: The legend
If you never heard of SRV and you like good guitarists just should check out his biografy, then some youtube videos, read some books, buy some books, buy some CDs, buy some DVDs and probably a Strato guitar. But I'm pretty shure that if you like good guitarists, you already did all of this things, at least :D
In 2014 we were commisioned from the school to create a little book as an excercise, so I decided to do something about him. I personally consider Stevie as one of the best blues guitarists ever existed!
This is a drawing I created using watercolors:
He just was able to speak with his guitar, and I think he could speak especially to the working class. So you can feel him really near!
This is another watercolor I did:
He used to play in many blues festivals and locals, here I created an elusive playbill o a real concert he did:
He also had a lot of custom guitars, he usually started from a Fender Stratocaster and he modified them a lot! I recreated two of his most famous guitars in Adobe Illustrator ("Number One" and "Red"), but here's a link to a list of his guitars!
Thank you:
He was a great musician, with his kind of "hippye cowboy native" style and his rough blues, he was even an appreciated presence. Sadly he died in an helicopter accident in 1990, leaving a artistical baggage that will remain forever in the history of music!
Tell me what's your SRV's favourite song, and let me know if you ever had any experience regarding him!
Thanks for watching!
