Yep. I'm talking about Thelonious Monk( not the the tv show). This is a late commission from Heroes Con.. It took a while for me to settle on a final composition.. I decided to focus on his face.. Initially I tried to incorporate the piano, but the face became too small.
And the whole "Monk at the piano" has been done countless time.. I didn't think we needed another version( read imitation) of that.
Here is the prelim and the final.
