Paul Karslake, the rock stars of painters, chose Prince as his next subject. He shared his work in progress and it is so cool to watch the nearly completed photo become complete. It is true tribute to The Purple One.

Paul Karslake has done it again. This time the man whose painting was Johnny Depp's inspiration for Pirates of the Caribbean has captured Heath Ledger's Joker. His painting is as haunting as Heath Ledger's portrayal in The Dark Knight.
Well done once again Paul!!!

Paul Karslake’s The Last Supper with Ronnie Wood |

Paul Karslake has done it again with this beautiful painting of The Last Supper with legendary musicians. Immortalizing The Rolling Stones and the greats that are no longer with us in a way that has never been done before.
For some fun, see how many of the music giants you can name in this portrait and can you spot the hidden messages in the food and in the drinks! For starters that is Stevie Ray Vaughn's guitar in the forefront, let me know what else you see in the fascinating painting!!!
For those of you unfamiliar with Paul Karslake, he is the artist who painted the painting of Keith Richards as a Pirate that inspired Johnny Depp for his role in Pirates of the Caribbean. I am just in awe of his work.
BTW this painting was finished before Ronnie Wood entered rehab not one, but twice and is rumored to have cheated on Paul's sister with an 18 year old Russian girl. Guess Paul really does know his subjects!

Artist Paul Karslake on his painting that inspired Jack Sparrow |

As many of you know Johnny Depp got the inspiration for Pirates of the Caribbean's Jack Sparrow from a painting he saw of Keith Richards by Paul Karslake. Karslake is the brother-in-law of Rolling Stones Ronnie Wood, and he is also an extremely talented painter.
When you look at that picture now, you can totally see Jack Sparrow and where Johnny Depp got his character from. So I asked Karslake what it was like to have created the painting that inspired Jack Sparrow and he had this say, "Having a character in a film as enormous as 'pirates' based on a painting created by me is just about the most fantastic compliment an artist can get, it has made me so much more confident as an artist and injected me with enthusiasm in what can be a very thankless and tough career."
A career that is made up of some of the most beautiful paintings I have ever seen of Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley, Twiggy and Robert Deniro to name a few. I forgot what classic beauty was all about until I saw his art. He also captured the essence of some of the most meaningful people of the 20th Century in a way I have never seen before. So check out his amazing talent at the Artisan Galleries website! I promise you will be as impressed as much as Johnny Depp and I are of his work!
