Elizabeth Taylor - Tribute


Artist Danny Roberts Tribute to the Great America Actress and icon Elizabeth Taylor on the cover of Screen magazine in the 1940s

Hello Friends,
As i'm sure you all know, the amazing Icon Elizabeth Taylor passed away yesterday, so i thought i would paint a tribute to her career and to who she was as a person. The reference image looks like it's from the 1940s, but it just really stood out to me. She has a grace & charm about about her. I hope you like it :)

Well, today is a very special edition of Inspiration Friday,
as this is the one year anniversary of the death of Lee Alexander McQueen.
I thought I would put together a special tribute to him for all of the times that he has inspired me.
I've never been so consistently in aw and inspired by any other designer.
He was able to create a world that was both beautiful and terrifying, but it was so clearly a world outside of ours.
I don't think I will ever cease to be inspired by all the wonderful things that he made.
I hope this set of images inspires you today! :)
I add a song i wrote that i felt like fit the mood of his collections.


p.s. My friend Chadwick Tyler chose his top picks for this season for the site fashion copious is a great article check it out here :)

Tribute to Dobby the House Elf

Artist Danny Roberts Tribute Painting Drawing of Harry Potter 7 and the Deathly Hallows Character Dobby the House Elf Looking straight brith green eyes


Hello!
How was your weekend?
Mine was so so so much fun!
Spent the weekend hanging out with my brother & the DuPree family.
And I to got see Eisley + Christie Dupree perform a couple times.
They sounded amazing!

It actually was my first time seeing Christie perform live.
Which is kinda crazy cause she sings on a few songs I've written.
But anyways, she was incredible!

Also as I'm sure you can guess, I saw Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows!
Oh my goodness gracious great balls of fire! It was amazing!
By far the best movie HP so far.
They really stepped it up on this one.
No joke, I was so inspired after seeing it that I didn't fall asleep till 3 or 4 in the morning.... haha
As we were walking out of the theater, my first words to my brother were "I'm going to paint a tribute to Dobby the House Elf"
which for you non-HP people, Dobby is a character in the stories.
Thus this picture... haa
Thought he would be a perfect addition to my "Pop Culture Series". :)
It's Ink, Water color, and Colored Pencil layered on ridiculously thick watercolor paper.
I hope you like it!

P.S. Oh I also did an interview with AnOther Magazine. If you want to read it Click Here

So my Friends...
I'm pleased to announce the most amazing thing ever...
My Tribute painting of Lee Alexander Mcqueen is on the cover of The Sunday Times Magazine -London!
Seriously, my mind has been blown for the last 2 weeks when I found out that my tribute painting was going to be on the cover...
I mean, I think this is the most humbling honor ever.
McQueen has been by far my favorite designer since I first started studying Fashion Design.
He was the source of inspiration for countless paintings and Art pieces.
Never in my wildest imagination, when I first discovered McQueen,
could I ever have dreamt that my little tribute to him would end up on the cover
of the The Sunday Times in his home town.
I seriously don't know what to say....
I'm so glad to be able to share it with yawl.
I hope you're having a wonderful Sunday.

Paying Respects Lee Alexander McQueen

Hey, friends, well I'm finally back home!
Oh boy, it was some trip.
Dave & I had such a good time.
I started sorting though over 20 gigs of files,
but I thought I would start with a post Paying Respects to Lee Alexander McQueen.
I had packed a print of this painting tribute to McQueen,
and the first day we were in New York,
my Brother and i went and got the print framed.
Then two mornings later David & I met up with Ryan & Alice,
and walked to the McQueen Store.
We arrived to a touching seen of roses, drawings, and letters laid across the store front window,
with people standing sobered in front of the store.
We stood silently there for a few minutes,
Alice had tears in her eyes.
I walked up and leaned the framed portrait at the base of the window.
Then we silently walked away.

Later the next day someone twitpic-ed me a picture of the store front,
and to my amazement the portrait got put in the window display of the store.
It was really the most humbling experience ever.
It really meant so much.
I was speechless, and still kinda am speechless.
But I thought I would share that story as my first post since New York Fashion Week.
I've missed you all so much,
I'm hoping to get all caught up this week and I want to get back to you all on your wonderful comments...
Just give me a little more time! :)


P.s. Thank you so much to Sketchbook Magazine for the interview & also to Kristen May Lee of the Fashion Spot for the Interview :)

Alexander McQueen Tribute



Artist Danny Roberts Painted Tribute of the Great and innovative Fashion Designer Alexander McQueen who was born 7 March 1969  and died 11 February 2010


Well, my friends, today is one of the saddest days in Fashion.
It was like getting a punch in the stomach when i rolled out of bed this morning,
and read that Alexander McQueen was dead.
It still hasn't fully sunk in.
i think i'm hoping against hope that it was a false report,
but deep down, i know it's not...

He was by far my favorite designer and one of my biggest sources for inspiration.
I don't think there was a collection that he has done that my mind wasn't completely blown...
I did a tribute painting of him.
I just wanted to express my appreciation to a true genius,
and pay honor to him with this piece.
R.I.P Alexander McQueen.

I'm Starting to feel a bit better. :)
I think i'm about ready for a vacation.
I realized i haven't taken a Vacation in 2 or 3 years,
so i think it's about time to take some time off...
been so run down lately.

Today i wanted to post a portrait i drew of one of my all time Favorite Artist, Aubrey Beardsley.
Aubrey Beardsley was born 21 August 1872, and he died at the young age of 25.
It's amazing to me his skill and the amount of art he produced in such a short period of time.
The Line work and detail in all his pieces are incredible.
I hope you like this tribute,
and hope you are having wonderful day!

P.s. RIP Brittany Murphy you where incredible. Your role of Luanne on King of the Hill is one of my favorite characters ever...
