Welcome to my

Feature of

JIMI

HENDRIX

here is a blast from my past

jimi Hendrix-'Angel' ink on board- 45x22"

dug I duI recently dug out my old Jimi Hendrix drawings from my pop festival days(late 1960's

I think this one truly stands the test of time (now approx 40years!!??)
It is my interpretation of one of his last songs called 'Angel'

I did it basically for me for myself way back then

tly I was involved in oneof my many moves and I had a look a this piece that

It has been packed away all these years and I realized it was time to share,

very briefly ,...I will try and tell you my interpretation of his song Angel


....In this song ANGEL ...he says a one point "Angel asked me to go away with her...etc" ,(suicide??)
its a lovely short song and very lyrical
and it was just before his suicide (or drug overdoes , whatever )
but I saw that while he made the voice and words of this Angel sound good or let say idealistic

the Angel could also have been seen as the dark angel (the devil?) ,

so if you take that into a count , and you turn the picture around 180 degrees , you will see the other side of the coin)
and there's is the dark angel , tempting jimi to go away with Her and his face twisted in turmoil.

so he romantically was depicting his exit with the white side (the good angel)

standing all alone on his watch-tower,

but deeper down it could have been, choices truly made from his dark side ,...we will never know ..!?

all I know is I wish he had stayed , and taken his genius in music further

this is my tribute to a special musician

I hope he traveled with his White Angel

,...Enjoy .John
