Jimi Hendrix, "1967"
Portrait, 8 1/2 x 11 in
Lead on Paper
Hendrix was on the scene solo for only about four years - from early 1967 until his death on September 18th of 1970. In that period though he went through two very distinct personality and wardrobe changes. This is the first of the two, far more dark and brooding than the jovial hippie that would follow some months later. In these early months he would always appear deep in thought, a solemn look on his granite face. I chose to picture him here in my favorite outfit from those years, the band leader jacket. It makes me smile for one reason or another and I hope it brings a little smile to your face or wall as well as it might be.
