Famous images of people and events that have influenced me. Hence the title having two meanings. From Chester Burnett ( Howlin Wolf ) to Bogart to Brian Jones I have interpreted these famous images to add my impressions of these people. More soft, or hard, vulnerable or secure. The streak of violence drives from top right to centre left whether it be real or imagined. Humour with sadness as well.

This is painted on a door that was abandoned in the street. So there is also a recycling aspect. The door is an interior type, wood over spacers. Total weight approx 10 kgs.

Painting exhibited in Crevillente, Spain in 2011.
