Update<\/strong>: I’m still not really happy with this one, but given that my next portrait is due tomorrow<\/em>, I went ahead and wrapped this one up. So, here you go: Chris and Rich Robinson, (Original post below.)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>So, once again “real life” is interfering with my #PortraitNight project\/ritual, but since I’m an hour late at this point, I’ll just post what I’ve got. I started a drawing of Chris and Rich Robinson (of the Black Crowes) but haven’t had time to really finish it. The Black Crowes are a band that–in my opinion–gets unfairly disparaged as being “derivative.” Are they derivative? Well, maybe so.. but in 1990 when Shake Your Money Maker<\/em> came out, I was more than enthused to hear something on the air like “Hard To Handle,” their Faces-esque cover of that Marvin Gaye tune.\u00a0 If my alternative are the non-“derivative” tunes of 1990, I’ll sure as heck take the Crowes:<\/p>\n

Their records became more and more interesting as they progressed, culminating with their 1994 record Amorica<\/em>, which is solidly one of my top ten albums of the 90s.<\/p>\n

PortraitNight, however, I’m not that pleased with. I like my drawing of Chris, but not at all of Rich. I may revisit this for next #PortraitNight (is that “legal”?) but for now, here’s what I’ve got in my sketchbook:<\/p>\n
