Description
This graphic is to celebrate and give some recognition to Jordan, a street musician, who plays the most beautiful violin music in Vancouver, Canada. I met him recently, playing his green violin on the street and I was mesmerized by the amazingly beautiful sounds he was playing. He told me he has been living on the street since he was 14 years old. He is now 23. We've become friends. When I told him of my plan to make a graphic featuring him playing his violin, he liked the idea and posed for me.The beautiful girl in this graphic is someone I just recently met through a website called Deviantart. She just joined Flickr and her Flickr name is Shiny Shaz. Here is the link to her photostream:

She has kindly given me permission to use one of her stock images. I will place the link to the image as soon as I locate the link.

I love this very much, but I have to tell you love, the place where he is holding the bow is wrong. It should be all the way at the end of the bow, towards the black part that I call the stock(don't ask why). I love the art anyway.

He lived on the street, in back alleys for 10 years, since he was 14 years old. He learned to play violin on the street, so maybe he doesn't hold the bow like a pedigree player, but believe me, the music he plays is completely amazing. It sends shivers up my spine. What is important ... the sound of the music ... or the way the bow is held?

The sound of music, but I only said that because that was how I was raised. I do love the picture though.

Enchanting...and i found it so strange as it almost relates directly to one of my recent works! A wild male playing his violin for a dancer.

Wow, you're so good an photomanipulation. One of my best friends is a violinist and she has a green violin, i love listening to her play. I love the brightness of this picture and the light feel to it.

Thank you so much. This one is special to me because the violin player is a street person who I've been helping to get off the street and to quit his addiction to heroin. He is doing very well. :-D
