Hello!

At first, I want to explain that I haven't put five stars everywhere because for my, only God can have a full-five (and I don't even believe in God). But this artwork, for me, is extremely close to perfection.

It's a real explosion of colours, and the mix of different vivid colours is very well composed.

The idea of covering his body with notes is original, and it's technicaly perfect. The symbols are very elegant and very visible without being a mess. It must have been very long and hard to do, by the way...

Jimi Hendrix' face is stylish and very recognisable, highlighted (no pun intended) by the bright halo.

The only "default" (but is it really a default...) I could notice is that we can't see clearly his hands.


In a few words, it's a wonderful presentation of Jimi Hendrix AND of music in general, with a great sense of composition and an excellent using of colours. I don't think I could add anything else, except congratulations for the artist!
