Artist's Comments

A digitally airbrushed piece I created in Procreate Painter Classic on the Mac in 2004. I was getting pretty confident in the ol' program at this time, using a pad to create the entire thing. In hindsight I wish I'd thought about laying a ruler over the pad to help out drawing some of the straight lines. The saxophone is my instrument of choice, and the subject of the still life is my own real-life alto saxophone. I haven't played in quite a few years, and not really heavily since my high school days in concert, marching, and jazz bands. I used to be very good (several superior awards from solo and ensemble contests attest to this), and still have a powerful penchant for music, but age has rendered my horn temporarily a decoration only until I can get it repadded and made over. One day, one day...

What a pity that no one has ever commented on this wonderful piece! It is quite amazing, and I, playing the sax myself, must say I'm astounded. Good job. ^^

From one sax player to another, thanks for the props! At some point I may have to try more pieces like this. A bit of a pain, but fun! Thanks again!

I just recently took up the Alto, and when I stumbled upon this, I went Wacked. It's wonderously done. Keep it up!

Thanks much for the fav! I've always loved the sax family, they've got a wondrous sound. I'm partial to the alto and baritone, but always wanted to get into tenor too.

Thanks for the kind praise! Yeah, it's kind of a pain, especially without a straight edge; lotsa little bits and levers...
