Back in December I annouced I was working on a large canvas piece. This is a piece I have been working on since August and can finally say it is complete! From the picture on the left, sketched and acrylic paints slowly bringing it to life.
Going for a more rustic look, I've carved and stained the lyrics to Stairway to Heaven. The symbols representing the four members of the band as well as the Hermit. Where I added two gutar necks in the piece here, in this piece the Gibson EDS-1275 has been added.
Physical Graffiti is carved by hand and mounted into the wall to highlight the 3D effect. All aspects of the street are elevated from the wall including ladders, steps and garbage cans. Lights added, giving a street light feel when the room is dim.
All I want for Christmas is the Gibson EDS-1275!
