a few of my favourite Icons I have immortalised onto canvas with my little twist of style. I love the play of light and dark revealing certain parts of the painting and parts not revealed, so you brain would have to make up the missing parts. This one that I have finished is Bob Marley who put reggae on the map and who I associated forever for reggae (yes other would disagree, but I have my opinion.). There 2 more to complete the series and will update when there completed; here is a crash course on BOB Marley if you didnt already know.

Robert Nesta Marley, OM (6 February 1945 11 May 1981) was a Jamaican singer-songwriter who became an international musical and cultural icon, blending mostly reggae, ska, and rocksteady in his compositions. Starting out in 1963 with the group the Wailers, he forged a distinctive songwriting and vocal style that would later resonate with audiences worldwide. The Wailers would go on to release some of the earliest reggae records with producer Lee “Scratch” Perry.

After the Wailers disbanded in 1974, Marley pursued a solo career upon his relocation to England that culminated in the release of the album Exodus in 1977, which established his worldwide reputation and elevated his status as one of the world’s best-selling artists of all time, with sales of more than 75 million records.
