Starsailor Artwork

The 'sketches' immediately below were created electronically from photographs taken by 'Boo at the Rock Island concert at the Isle of Wight Festival in June 2002. The backgrounds were masked from the images and the required section of the image was selected with a feathered edge for softness and various manipulation techniques applied to reduce the colour photograph to a monochrome 'sketch'.

A new 'sketch' working of a photograph taken at Parr Hall in Warrington in December 2002. The original photo, taken in full colour was converted to black and white and the surrounding stage areas made into a sketch and then blended carefully with a selected photographic area in the centre.

Betina's Sketch of James

In July one of the posters set an informal art 'competition' on the official Starsailor message board, I think it sort of dissapeared with the arrival of the new MB. There were no winners but a few entries. I decided to draw a picture since it was my summer holiday and I had nothing better to do. This was my entry.

I printed out a small picture, marked the dark parts with a pen, and drew only the shadows on his face/jacket when I made it into A4 size. I have made more drawings of other artists since, and they can be found on my web page.

Jacky's Starsailor Sketches

Starsailor are one of my most favourite bands and I have always loved art so I thought it would be fun to do some drawings of them. I printed off two small pictures I wanted to draw from as a guide from the Internet and then created my own larger versions of them. The first one of the whole band is a pencil sketch but for the second one I drew James in pencil before using charcoal and chalk pastel to create the mist around him. Please feel free to email me with any thoughts or comments.

Valli's Sketch of James Walsh

I made this drawing of James during some winter holidays, because I was bored, and it was the only good way to kill the boredom that I found. I drew James and colored the whole drawing with a pencil, except for the heavy shadow (the kind of mist drifting around on stage), I used charcoals for that. I made it into a A4 size. I found the original picture in a French magazine, but it can be found on the Starsailor site as well. I loved the original picture a lot, because first, I love the way it was taken from below and then I found that the mist added some mystery to it. It is also kinda funny that Jacky and I did the same picture around the same time!
