Art: Faces of Jazz
A great find over at the website of illustrator/designer Oliver Barrett. During the first half of 2009, he created a portrait of his favourite jazz legends each month. If you like them, you can buy a framed copy of your favourite jazz musician over at Imagekind for less than 20 dollars. Oliver Barrett: “The results are John Coltrane, Thelonious Monk, Charles Mingus, Miles Davis, Max Roach, and Charlie Parker in six different prints in blue, paying homage to Blue Note Records.”
