Artist's Comments

"I am immortal, I have inside me blood of kings.
I have no rival, no man can be my equal...
Take me to the future of your world!"

Princes of the universe - Queen

This piece is enterely dedicated to the best singer, composer and musician that has ever been on earth...FREDDIE MERCURY

Today, it'd have been Freddie's 60th birthday. This is my humble tribute to him, my idol. I still remember the first time I heard "love of my life", I couldn't stop myself from crying, his voice was so moving that it sent me shivers down my spine :happycry:. I had never had such a superb feeling before I knew this amazing band called Queen. In my opinion, no other musician or singer could ever be as great as he was. He marked the story of rock and entertained us with his creativity and histrionism. Only that splendid and sublime voice could interpret a rock piece as well as the sweetest song, without losing a tiny piece of perfection. Freddie, wherever you are today, I STILL LOVE YOU! :heart:

What can I say, darlings? I just love this gorgeous man! We all have immortal souls, that's what I believe, so if you remember someone, that person keeps alive in someway. That's what I want to do today :) I enjoyed a lot doing this piece. It took me 7 hours in total but I did it in about two weeks time. It was such a long time without drawing him, in fact, I realized the difference between my drawings about him, 'cos in all that time I've changed a lot, wheter to good or bad (in my opinion, I've improved a little) In fact, I drew "the miracle" last year for one of my friends and he hasn't come home to get it yet...immediately after I finished it, I saved it in my wardrobe...and some days ago I decided to take a look at it and, guess!!! I told my friend I'm going to re-made it because I don't like it, I'm really sure I can do it better now :D

These are the materials I used to do this drawing:
:bulletred: Staedtler tradition5b pencil
:bulletred: Goldfaber Faber-castell 6b pencil
:bulletred: koh-i-noor hardtmuth 8b pencil
:bulletred: Eraser
:bulletred: Blending stumper
:bulletred: Tissue paper
:bulletred: A3 size, romani paper
:bulletred: loads of passion and admiration (:D this is not a traditional material :lol: is it? )

That's all, dears. It doesn't matter you like him or not, just give me your opinion, comments or suggestions about the drawing as a piece of art ;) I really hope you like it as much as I do :aww:

God save the queen! :worship:

We can forgive a man for making a useful thing as long as he does not admire it. The only excuse for making a useless thing is that one admires it intensely…
All art is quite useless.

Bird Flu could be quickly and easily eradicated by adding a few drops of Lem-sip or Day-Nurse to birdbaths, obviously you would have to put Night-Nurse in the bird baths for owls.

Wow, you are a FANTASTIC artist, and a big a Queen fan as I am. Great to meet ya.
:iconaeremita:
Freddie, fue, es, y será por siempre el mas grande.

Hoy desayuné escuchando Queen II, almorzé escuchando A Night At The Opera, y pienso seguir asi todo el día :D

La verdad que tu dibujo esta a la altura de las circunstancias, realmente exelente, deberías mostrarlo en el foro de DeviantArt para que lo vea la mayor cantidad de gente posible.

FELIZ CUMPLE FREDDIE

Saludos
