ILLUSTRATED GUITAR HEROES, FOR MAX, BY A MAX.

Maxim Dalton is an illustrator, based in Buenos Aires, who has such a playful, intelligent, retro vibe going on, his work just makes me smile.

Max P, is my son.

8 years old, lives in Cape Town and believes he is “born talented.”

(Which he explains as “Good at sport, good at maths, good at music and good to look at.”)

Ah. The arrogant innocence of a protected childhood, the son of two Jewish parents.

What else could he end up but a Guitar player in a rock band?

(I’d be happier if he was an illustrator, maybe these will inspire him.)

Here’s what Illustrator Max has to say about his work: “Here’s a new illustration. I tried to include all my rock guitar heroes of all times and some other that I don’t like that much but I thought they deserve at least to appear on the list.

Featuring: Frank Zappa, George Harrison, Slash, Jimi Hendrix, Keith Richards, Jimmy Page, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Eric Clapton, Mark Knopfler, Brian May, Johnny Ramone, Jack White, The Edge, Chuck Berry, Angus Young, Pete Townshend, Tony Iommi, Eddie Van Halen, David Gilmour, Ace Frehley, Ritchie Blackmore, Duane Allman, Kirk Hammett, Carlos Santana, John Frusciante, Yngwie Malmsteen, Kurt Cobain, Mike Bloomfield, Jerry Garcia, Ry Cooder, Bo Diddley, Jeff Beck, Tom Morello, Brian Setzer and Peter Green.”

Did you see John Frusciante?

Cute!

Does he deserve to be in the line-up?

Music anxiety.

Any opinion would be a giveaway.
