You made me cry, you told me lies
But I cant stand to say goodbye
Mama, Im coming home
I could be right, I could be wrong
Hurts so bad, its been so long
Mama, Im coming home!

This was a gift for the little girl I never had! Sarah! How would we all feel if our daughter called you and said.. Mama, I’m coming home……and she brought home someone like the famed Ozzy? What a story that is, I watched Dee Snyder’s wife talking about when she brought him home. What a fun program to watch.  It doesn’t always turn out bad!

Sarah’s a rocker - that’s for sure, at the great old age of 11, she know’s what good rock music is! I love seeing when younger kids get into the heart of rock ~n~ roll, that my generation grew up with.  I enjoy seeing the spark of interest in the old albums that have been tucked away into the attic and they start digging through them.  My son, Jake has been playing guitar for two years now - and he isn’t playing all the new stuff, he is concentrating on Grand Funk, Aerosmith and some I have never heard of even from my era. 

I took a light box to get the characters correctly proportioned on this sketch for Sarah’s birthday.  Having to take and manipulate the pictures via scanning and printing to get them sized correctly so they would fit into one another like a puzzle piece.  Done in Woodless Graphite - 97-4B.

There is something about his magnetism, and drawing him has been a pleasure as well. 

This is one of my favorite sketches of Steven Tyler, the intense look of his creative mind comes out when I looked at the original picture.  Bringing out the lines and thought of his true character the tortured soul that he was throughout his career seems to come through and speak volumes. 

Thank you so very much…Soul to Soul
