This is one of a series I'm working on called 'Happier Times' focussing on icons who mean something to me personally. Taken from all fields of popular culture, they're people who tragically took their own lives or died too young. The portraits are based on photos of the subjects where they have what I perceive to be a genuine smile or laughter on their face, not taken from any movie or 'forced smile' situation, but rather capturing a moment of genuine happiness.
Kurt, thanks for providing the soundtrack to my youth.
Acrylic on canvas. The sides are painted black ready to hang direct, or frame.
This painting will be packaged to professional standards and shipped to wherever you are in the world from my studio here in Southern Paraguay. Shipping and insurance costs are included in the price you see.

Jamie Lee, a contemporary British painter, has found his artistic home in Paraguay, South America. Initially arriving in Paraguay to bring vibrancy to a children's home through murals, Lee's deep affection for the country compelled him to extend his stay. Since then, he has continued to leave his creative mark by adorning various locations with his captivating murals, contributing to the visual tapestry of Paraguay.
Throughout his mural-painting endeavors, Jamie Lee refined his distinctive pop art style, a unique fusion of bold colors and sharp lines. Beyond mural work, he channels his artistic energy into creating original painted canvases. Lee's commitment to perfection is evident in his paintings, where he aims to achieve perfectly sharp lines, minimizing any trace of brushstroke. The result is a quality akin to vector art, meticulously applied to stretched canvases.
In addition to his prowess as a painter, Jamie Lee is a skilled vector illustrator, with more than 80,000 of his illustrations finding homes through Getty Images. His vector illustrations showcase a mastery of detail and precision, echoing the same commitment to sharp lines that define his painted works.
Lee's pop-art and comic book style are deeply influenced by artistic luminaries such as Roy Lichtenstein and the celebrity-centric fascination of Andy Warhol. The synthesis of these influences has given rise to Jamie Lee's unique visual language, characterized by its vibrant aesthetics and meticulous execution.
