1983 GHS Yearbook - J
Switching my approach a little bit here. Trying to do a simpler ink style... simpler lines, simpler shading.

Queen - News of the World
Maybe the first true masters of "arena rock", Queen was MASSIVE in 1977 when "News of the World" came out. "We Will Rock You" and "We Are the Champions" still live as the most pulse pounding, adrenaline producing rock anthems ever recorded. A couple quiet songs from this album I also loved, "All Dead" and "Who Needs You".
The album art always puzzled me. Did the giant robot just find the band dead? Or did it accidentally murder them by playing with them like Barbie dolls? There's surely a look of regret on it's face in either case.
Billy Joel - The Stranger
Taking a break from yearbook sketches, here's a classic album cover. 1977 - Billy Joel, The Stranger. Some of my favorite tracks, "Movin' Out", "Just the Way You Are", "Scenes from an Italian Restaurant". This was a huge album in the 70s, and although Billy Joel fans seem to be taking a lot of flack these days, he's proven his talent over the last thirty years.
