Continuing my series of #PortraitNight drawings of musicians from Our Band Could be Your Life is tonight’s subject: Big Black front-man and all-around indie rock gadfly Steve Albini. This isn’t the greatest likeness, but it was one of my favorites so far to do. Unlike previous subjects like Henry Rollins and Ian MacKaye, there’s a wonderful visual disconnect between Albini’s personality and his appearance and I really enjoyed trying to capture that. It totally kills me that the guy who lead bands like Big Black and Rapeman looks like he should be at home in his basement building a Heathkit/Zenith computer.
If you’d like to suggest a #PortraitNight subject, you can do so either via the comments section here, or via my Twitter.
