    Portrait is moody and suggestive. Shadows and textures very well done. Should be on a cd. Neil

    that is one great image. Mr Bluesman himself. I was just about going to send up an image and then I saw yours. But I guess I should n't compare otherwise we get nowhere, so I will post it anyway. Keep sending them......Tao

    Thats John Lee Hooker not BB.... irregardless of who the subject is the illustration looks great. Nice lighting.

    I've really got to get back to doing more illustrations and less interface work... keep up the good work.

    Okay. Great portrait of John Lee Hooker! I wonder if BB King ever lets others play Lucile? One small comment about the illustration: I presume that those large rings are gold. It seems to me that they could have been used as a device to bring greater attention to those magic hands: Perhaps some gold colour and a highlight.

    (ZZTop is one of my favorite bands. When asked where the name came from they said they wanted to call themselves BB King but the name was already taken!).

    It does look like John. But what is he doing with BB's guitar ?

    John Lee Hooker

    I don't think that BB ever wore that hat and sunglasses and that seems to be all John. Check BB here. BB King

    Russ it is a great illustration.

    OK guys . He is John. I also can`t to tell something clear about guitar and it seems that BB lets him to play it. I found some information about this event but everything there is in French. I know only one: there is name John Lee Hooker and no name BB King.
    Sorry . But how many interesting replies .
