Description Could this be? Is this true or but a trick? A new portrait? after such hiatus? No, no! a dream, a dream I say!

Fear not good deviants, you aren't imagining things. This really is a new drawing; only my second of 2010, and the first since January.

I did ask you all who my first subject should be to mark my return, and the majority of you requested a band or musician. After throwing around differing individuals in my head, I settled with the emotive, late singer Jeff Buckley.

Even though he released such little original work in his tragically short career, he has developed quite a passionate following. I will admit I am quite partial to his album Grace myself.

There has also been a lot of talk over the years of Hollywood making a biopic of Buckley's life and career. As of now I don't believe there is anything actually in the works (as far as scripts), but the rumors have spread over which actor would play the young singer. The two names thrown around most often are James Franco and Robert Pattinson. Personally, I would prefer that Franco get the role since he can actually act well.

I love the hazy feeling to it. It seems so appropriate for a portrait of someone who's passed away. It's absolutely breathtaking. I've fallen in love with it.

Oh and I absolutely agree with you. James Franco would be a great choice.

( i had written a long comment and had a power shut down. hate it when that happens)

i agree on your choice to James Franco, because, besides him being able to act, as you said, i actually thought that this was a portrait of him at first, haha. not that you didn't do a great job on drawing the dear Buckley, but i just thought... and i guess they kinda look alike, both very charming.

great job

Jeff Buckley...!! My favourite. I laugh and cry whenever I see or hear him. He touches my heart.
On May 29th he died 13 years ago. Still missing him so much.

Rumours about Franco playing the role of Buckley have been floating around for ages. It once got confirmed on his imdb page, but it's gone, probably because of Pattinson too. Truth be told I will cry like a little baby of Pattinson gets the role, it would be awful. James Franco got the looks of Buckley, the same appearance, beauty and "essence". Plus James Franco is a wonderful actor and one of my favourites. Please let it be him...!

Such a wonderful drawing, *ffxauron , and such a pleasant surprise to find it on my dA inbox. Thank you for drawing this <3 it's amazing.
