Sir Paul McCartney

This colorful ballpoint pen drawing is of Paul McCartney. The Beatles certainly changed or altered worldwide views of music. Their songs or tunes revolutionized our modern music scene plus brought millions of people to a new place! Altering the world through music, new art mediums or instruments are no easy task. Often decades are involved with such endeavors because people are often slow to except new ideas.***** This impressionistic ink drawing became alive because of my application of line, color, contrast and details. I leave some areas open so my mind can work or play with it. The dark rich colors are many levels or layers stacked atop each other. My details speck fore themselves and the soft transitions are completed with many soft half tone lines.***** Elegance or refinement is achieved with subtle half tone lines while power takes place through stacked layers of dark colors. Lines, colors and half tones produce spectacular drawings, movement, clarity or desired results. Remember, I am not trying to imitate other mediums, instead demonstrating what ballpoint pen oil based inks can do is my goal.***** A fellow artist, Jerry Stith

Hello, Jerry, how are you? Happy Holidays. It amazes me how you do these paintings using ballpoint pen ink. If I were to try this, ink would run and smear all over the place! It's your skill, and you are amazing...

I love this! Plus I am old enough to love it because i was there! LOL

sheila stanley-powell 13 Jul 2007

i love your work jerry. it's funny 'cause i work with ink myself (totally different approach in the long run) and yet i don't think i'd ever consider doing this type 'cause once you've put it to paper there's no going back. how do fix a glitch? i can re-ink and go at it again. this would be like doing crosswords in ink-only for the brave of heart. keep up the great work.

Paul Roberts 10 Jul 2007

You bring so much to this medium. Amazing work again.

Robin Brown 25 Jan 2007

I said it before; the Beatles missed out out loads of really cool graphics by coming along too early to meet you Jerry

Ian Richard Laws 25 Jan 2007

Hi Jerry, Outstanding rendering of Sir Paul. I would love to see a whole set. The color tapering to the right side of the face is a great use of fading into space. Great work. Ian.

George Dunn 07 Jan 2007

Very captivating. Yes, the Beatles have been a major influence for me from the beginning. It's as if because of them people like us almost live in an alternate reality full of insight, creativity and scope.

Gary Glass 30 Nov 2006

One of my favorite Iconic musicians, You captured him well in his early 70's appearances.. I am simply amazed at what one is able to detail with just ball point pens.. It is amazing in that mistakes would be hard to mask in some sections .. excellent work Jerry

randy linbourn 30 Nov 2006

Great work but, darn it, what about Ringo! Sure he didn't think up Sgt. Pepper, but he did do Beaucoups of Blues. That deserves something!

sharon hendrickson 22 Nov 2006

henry oswaldsson 17 Oct 2006

Great job, Jerry! When I knew him he played the intermission in a Liverpool Jazz Club called the Cavern; it had no liquor licence. We rarely heard Paul and his fellow players because we had gone over the road to the Grapres for a 'whiskey and dry'!

Phil Armitage 16 Oct 2006
