Artist Captures James Hetfield, Joe Satriani, Slash and Others Shredding Without Guitars
Brooklyn-based artist Fred Stesney has created a set of portraits of some of rock's most legendary six-string artists...without their guitars.
You've probably seen the images Stesney modeled these drawings after, but you definitely haven't seen them like this.
Says Stesney:
"Guitar players can get away with making some funny faces and postures, but when you take away the six-stringed excuse, they look pretty silly."
Check out Stesney's drawings in the gallery below! And check out his other work at behance.net.
