I think it looks alright for a likeness. ..but it's still gaudy.

AND the "lyrics to I Want To Break Free are painted in Latin"


They're obviously not concerned with accurate quotations seeing how it's a John Deacon quote.


Just figured I'd add it in case nobody caught this bit of "news"
"Come tonight! Come see the Overbite! Come to Ogre Battle, FIGHT!"

Just piss poor work when the artist states:

"I have....included his famous lyrics ‘I want to break free’ in Latin scripture.”

If you're doing a painting of John then fair enough...

^exactly what I said.


WOULD be nice to see John from IAHL video with a unicorn in a classic gaudy painting

Surely the obvious song to choose would have been Bohemian Rhapsody? Or if he wanted to be particularly gothic, something from My Fairy King, or Fairy Feller, or Black Queen, I don't know. I want to break free just seems a little crass. The artist probably didn't research who wrote what in the band.

Anyway the portrait is kind of strange. Freddie would probably love it.

He looks like Vlad Tepes.
