This is my initial art series of some of the most famous guitars ever played by some of the most famous guitarists who ever lived. These illustrations were hand-drawn using Procreate and an Apple Pencil on my iPad. Each one took about 2 hours to complete.

As for me... during the day, I'm an executive creative director in the world of marketing, and at night I draw for fun. I am a graduate of The School of Visual Arts in NYC. Enjoy!

Although Kurt was seen playing a variety of Fender guitars over the years, his Fender Jaguar® and Mustang® remain the most iconic due to their use on the "Nevermind" tour and "Smells Like Teen Spirit" music video. Kurt designed the Jag-Stang® to combine his favorite elements of both instruments and brought it to life with help from the Fender Custom Shop in 1993.

    Jimi Hendrix took the world by storm with his incredible Monterey Pop Festival performance, which he concluded with the sacrificial burning of his now-iconic hand-painted Stratocaster. Destroyed during the fiery culmination of his set, this one-of-a-kind guitar survived only in photos and film.
