John Lennon by Jason Pearson

WOW!!!!!  Absolutely fabulous piece!  Love all that black.  And the combination of realism and caricature is just brilliant.  One of the best Pearson pieces I've seen in a while.  Congratulations!

A wonderful piece with a mixture of cartooning and illustrative realism that speaks to the complexity of Lennon as a person.  Even though he was able to bring joy to the world through his music, his darker side would deny that joy to those close to him. 

I was tempted by this but the subject matter didn't appeal to me as much as it did to you ;)

What I loved best about it is the contrast between the main figure and the animated Beatles above him.

That's awesome, Nathan.  Go that realistic rendering mixed Jason's stylized comic book look.  Suh-weet ebay grab.  Congrats!

The first time I commented on this piece, I almost wanted to cry because it was so beautiful.  Now I feel like crying for a different reason.  Rest in peace Jason.  I miss you already.

So true Eric, just such a huge loss. Jason's work was in a league of it's own, and that goes for his writing too. Still gut punched by the news. 

One of the best pieces that I've seen created by Pearson, which is no small thing considering his immense talent.  A fitting way to remember both the artist and his subject matter.
