Sketches - Mat Rock and His Guitar.
July 5th, 2007 Ahmad Al-Mahir
I’ve been keeping in contact on and off with an ex-colleague of mine who’s a self-proclaimed undercover hippy; a free-spirited songwriter cum DJ cum world traveler. Billy’s living the envious happy-go-lucky life playing gigs all over the place and writing (and selling online) songs. A recent message he sent got me inspired to do a couple more quick pencil sketches for him. See, a few years back he thought a drawing I did of a “Mat Rock” (that’s a typical term for a malay rocker for those not in the know) was pretty cool, and I gave him permission to use it for his website/album promo. Apparently, his fans liked it too and have been asking for more. And as usual, I never got round to doing anything about it. Till now. Actually, I just felt like chilling out after a pretty crummy day and do something totally unrelated to work or 3d for a bit (strangely it seems to be a recurrent theme for me these past few days) so sketching seemed like a good idea. Besides, I haven’t been practicing lately so…Â Hope y’all like it.
Go on then, tell me what you think?
