I used to have this painting on my website. I took it off because I didn't think it really went with the body of work that I'm trying to create. BUT, I really like this painting. I like the way the paint worked transparent in the hair, and the colors in the face and hands. This piece is my tribute to Angus Young. Angus, for any of those lost souls who dont know, is the guitarist of the Australian rock band AC/DC. And, in my opinion, Angus defines rock-n-roll. The first concert I ever saw was AC/DC at the Salt Palace in 1991. I did this painting about 3 yrs ago. It's still one of my favorite paintings, and every time I see footage of Angus ripping it makes me want to paint twenty more of these.

Dood I love this piece. Heil Angus.
We still need to get our "hang" on.
Great work, Justin!
I'd love to see twenty more :-)
Rock on!
Wow, this is cool. I especially love the background. I've wanted to do a painting of Blondie for a long time, but have been hesitant because I've seen so many paintings of musicians/rock/jazz icons that it comes across as cliche, but now that I've seen this, I'm inspired. Yours doesn't come across that way at all.
Fantastic piece man - I really love this! There's a great feeling of movement in it - Super!
absolutely awesome. i love ac/dc and this painting is an amazing tribute. well done.
Great piece! You really make Angus seem larger than life. Until you look at his hand in relation to the fretboard and realize how small that dude really is. No wonder he fits into the boys school uniform so well.
You are a virtuoso dude. I love the strokes on this!
it's a really great painting about this rock star, i like the red color use in this picture. it's a really strong heu... painting... my english is still bad T_T..
Oh, who doesn't love AC/DC?
Well, me. But I DO love your painting. And Rhett's all inspired and singing AC/DC now. So thanks.
