Art

Art and British Blues often come together. Posters, T-shirts, album covers and so on frequently feature bespoke artwork, and some music artists are, in fact, brush-and-easel artists as well.

The first example of a musician-artist is the drummer with Jools Holland’s Rhythm and Blues Ochestra, Gilson Lavis. Examples of his work are below:

Amy Winehouse

BB King

Eric Clapton

Keith Richards

Screamin Jay Hawkins
