Making some illustrations from Johhny A pix

Illustration from pix made @ SPACE in Evanston, IL of guitarist Johnny A. This piece included four layers, three filters, and three blend modes, along with a bit of letter spacing, (kerning), of the text in the final composite. The slow shutter of the camera and artful lighting of the performance added to the dramatic feel and color.

Johnny A @ Space in Evanston, IL 04.26.10

From sublime rhythms and soft touches to scorching distortion filled leads, "Johnny A" created an vast array of sounds and feelings this Monday evening @ Space in Evanston. A nod to, and with hints of Jimi Hendrix in his play, to a bit of Nashville twang, "Johnny A" along with bandmates, Ron Stewart on drums and Jesse Bastos on electric bass played a two hour show which included covers of Hendrix, the Beatles and Stones along with original works. Space is an intimate, wide open and comfortable room, housed in the rear of "Union" along Chicago Avenue just off of Dempster. Photo by Glenn Kaupert. © Glenn Kaupert, 2010.
