There's a new little one in the CS who paints as well as our friend Mike Learn. - Hey Mike, what do you think of his work -

and this one which was displayed at NAMM 2008:



That rocks. Hope he will keep working for Jackson.

Anybody who knows more about Johnnie Grez?

[sully]

i know that he can destroy a perfectly good telly/willy like no one's business!

sully

[ABSOLUT CHARVEL]

not to diss his talent, but a tele flame is not the canvas for a alien. painfull to see

The first one is ugly, but the second one looks awesome...

of course i give credit for the vision, just for me i dont think it was on the right guitar, and i cant get past that. the chick on the strat is more fitting and lays out better. the eyes are great, but the thing under her nose seems too high lighted where as it washed out the lips. if i have a chick on a guitar, she should have DSL's. of course that is my opinion and an observation from a picture.

Nah, the Tele was destroyed way before - incorrect bridge and bridge pickup - the neck pickup is acceptable.

[Robert Burns]

One thing that imo stands out with Mike, is that his depth of field ..or
perception that the scene is perfectly done from in your face to 600 feet
further back, are exceptional !! Soon...i will be able to show you !!
1 off coming from Mike...and ive seen it...(my brother in law ordered it)
and it's as amazing as the MIG !!

Those would have looked good on a white guitar in black, but that is ugly shit there.

[petedz]

I think the second one works pretty well visually, although I don't know wtf that thing is...

[Bengal]

First one looks like a Giger Alien but done in cartoonish form. What's with that big, cheezy smile?

The second one looks like a Predator.

I think they are interesting. Unique, no doubt. But not really my thing.

I'll be happy to give him credit for poor judgement. I bet from ten feet away, it looks like the Tele has been in a fire.

[sonicsamurai]

i think they're good. Not sure about the telly but he's not responsible for the build and he's got a good idea. Nice to see something different than a learn graphic. Imo i don.t think mike's are as good as the used to be. As cool as his painting style is, what he's actually painting isn't that good lately. Perhaps demand for him is so high that his inspiration and imagination is a little over stretched these days

[Bert]

Learn is in a different league IMO... these look amateurish to me, but maybe it's just not my thing.
