Here it is...what do you think?

Very nice, thanks for sharing!

Oh my...it's a frankenphone! Somebodys put an EMG horn on a HMV lol.
I quite like it actually. I like your use of colour for the sound coming from the horn especially.
And the best part is it's not yet another lame craigslist/ebay ad thread whining about price, condition or spelling
Well done.

Haha Shane, when I sat down to draw it (from memory) a frankenphone was the only thing I could think of!

Or grammar, thank you!

If you were to have said that it was a photo of a painting from thus and so museum, I'd have believed it. That's the very sort of impressionist style representation I'd expect to see in a contemporary painting. I see it more as a tribute to the jazz greats than as a painting of a gramophone.

It's certainly as good/creative as any of these:

Yes, I've had quite enough of those.
Done, played, overcooked.

The paintings are lovely, all four of them posted as of this time.

First thought was Edvard Munch for the very few that have never heard of him (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edvard_Munch & http://images.search.yahoo.com/search/i ... nch&sz=all )

Not bad

The good news is that no one compels one to click on that thread!
