I did a portrait of Phil Collins for today’s edition of the National Post, where they reviewed his new album, Going Back. Strangely, it’s all motown covers, backed by the Funk Brothers (the session band that provided most of the music for Motown records). With the original band providing the instrumentals, the songs sound authentic and unchanged — but with Phil Collins voice replacing Stevie Wonder, The Temptations and The Supremes. It’s bizarre!
Check him out doing one of my favourite songs EVER:
Oh, and if you’re wondering about the jacket I gave him, it’s the Motown records “M”.
Kagan,
ReplyDeleteyour blowing my mind dude. Your ability to capture likeness, while staying loose and vibrant is incredible.
I do appreciate that! The peach-color strokes on the original are almost barely visible (the paper's so porous everything dries differently). I really had to bump them up in photoshop, but was happy lots of subtleties came through.
