Artist's Comments

I LOVE Tom Vek, his music is AMAZING. I think he was the best new artist of last year no question, and because of this I really wanted to make something cool dedicated to him!

I was trying out some new techniques here - I've never used pastel straight onto black paper before as you can't sketch it out first! I wanted to portray him in the style of his 'We Have Sound' album cover, which you can see here: [link]

It was really fun and quick to do, and I'm pleased with the result - it's stuck up above my CD stereo in my bedroom. :D

Blue chalk pastel on black sugar paper.

Funky! :o
I love the style! It fits really well with the CD cover, you can definatly tell where the influence came from. :)
The face looks very realistic. The way it's shaded so the face sortof fades out really finishes the drawing off quite neatly. I love how layered and texture the hair looks to. :aww:
When i saw the thumbnail for this the lines reminded me of sound waves, and before i opened it fully i thought that it was showing him singing or something. Hehe, it's a really neat pattern. :D

Thanks so much! :glomp:
Yay! So glad you can see the link with the album art, and that the pattern reminded you of soundwaves! That's perfect :D Not everyone gets it... my mum asked "why is he in a web?" :XD: And it makes me especially happy you mentioned his face, as that took the longest to get right as I was only drawing the highlights. :aww:

Damn right! Met a guy the other night who had actually met Vek after a gig- so jealous.
