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!

Kurt's "Jag-Stang" Fender
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.
