let's get inspired by art, shall we?

hello folks!

First things first. This is NOT my art.

But since i had no time for art last night, i thought i'd share

a bit of artwork with you from other artists...

I always find it fascinating to see what other people draw or paint,

and in this case, they are mostly celebrities

...or wanna be celebrities. ;-)

Some of you may not be familiar with some of these artists.

I think it's so interesting that there's so much creativity in the world,

and art is art - regardless of who paints what.

I hope you like some of these...

This is the art of Bob Dylan

John Lennon

Frank Sinatra

Hitler
i debated whether or not to include this one.
Even his flowers look dead inside

Joni Mitchell
(a portrait of Graham Nash, done in the lat 1960's... in felt marker)

Joni Mitchell (self portrait)

Paul McCartney

Ronnie Wood (guitarist and bassist with the Rolling Stones)
This is a portrait of Mick Jagger, lips and all... ;-)

Ronnie Wood with more of his artwork...

Tony Bennett

and last but not least...one of my favorites,

Leonard Cohen

and his fabulously depressing illustrations... ;-)

I believe the need to express ourselves creatively is universal.

Many of us choose not to honor this need,
but i am deeply grateful for those of us who do.

Can you imagine a world without art

and poetry

and songs

and books

and music?

What a crappy world it would be... ;-)

Here's to making the world a more beautiful place -
one little expression at a time...
in our own little way.
