“Don’t criticize what you don’t understand, son. You never walked in that man’s shoes.”
~ Elvis Presley
The KING is ALIVE, measuring in 122cmx81cm this piece was nothing but a joy to create. From the second I laid down the guidelines, I had Elvis blasting out of my speakers. His music definitely inspired me to keep going and as the piece progressed I could just see him singing those lyrics.
I promise if you listen to his music whilst you take in the piece you will start to smile. This piece is a great talking and viewing point. You won’t be disappointed.
Make sure to watch the ‘Making of’ video below, but to some it up, it was as follows:
Chose a cool reference picture
Roughly white washed a board
Threw down some guidelines
Applied my 1st coat of Tin awesomeness
Brought the detail back through with acrylic pen
Applied the ‘Darkness’ 😵💫
Brought The KING to life 😉
