Description Johnny Marr.

I saw Modest Mouse in September, and was in complete -awe- of Johnny Marr. I just starred at his guitar playing and awesome stage presence. I couldn't comprehend it..that's..Johnny Marr! It was like you just knew, right away, that this guy was an awesome guitar player.

So I just had to go home and listen to his previous work, and make a vector.
I wanted to vector loosely this time, for a more painterly feel, using different colors for shades. I really like it. Illustrator's pencil tool is my new best friend. <3

I hope it looks like him, since I didn't follow the posterization as I usually do, and the reference was black & white.

Oh, and the guitar was a nightmare to vector, at first. But as I went on, it got funner. I apologize to any guitarists out there, for any technical mistakes in vectoring it. Haha.

Anyway, enjoy! =]
Hopefully there are Johnny Marr fans out there. ;D


Edit-
First Daily Deviation! Thank you so so much, Mirabel and Ikue! It means a lot to me, it's been my dream ever since joining Deviantart.

Great vector! And you've done an excellent job on the Rickenbacker. I've played guitar for a long time and always liked both The Smiths and Modest Mouse, but I'm only now beginning to appreciate the genius of Johnny Marr.

I have the 12 string version of this guitar, and it all looks spot on.

Good job!

I got to see Johnny arr play w/Modest Mouse in Nov. Although Johnny was on the other side of the stage (damn) I did get to run my fingers through Isaac Brock's hair. Safe to say I'll never be the same.

I have to say, I'm a little jealous.

I wish I was on Isaac's side of the stage. Heh, can't have it all I guess.
