This lino print portrait came from one of those moments of boredom, flicking through Instagram and seeing an icon image of Kurt dressed in his Louis Vuitton attire and I thought to myself that would be a great print to try.

When I studied Art & Design at school I always tried to include my musical tastes into the work somehow. Whether it was a portrait of Kurt Cobain or a painting of Bob Marley on acid. It was always present in my work.

I sketched out an idea using curves to generate depth and shadow in the portrait. It’s a bit abstract, strange and skeletal which I like as it suits his music and the energy I feel when I listen and work to it.

If you like the print or are interested in my other art work please visit my Etsy shop.
