John Williams Artwork

[leeallen01 2,338]

I've looked for other threads on the topic of artwork of Williams or other composers, but didn't find any. I thought I'd make one because I just finished a portrait of Johnny, and am planning to do others of different composers in the future. 

 

I'd also like to see any artwork done of him from other people here, or any composer artwork you have found elsewhere. 

 

[crumbs 15,888]

Incredible work! Nicely done!

 

How long did this take you?

[leeallen01 2,338]

About a week of a couple of hours a day. It's actually the first portrait I've ever painted.

This would be great for the caption competition thread.

Way to get Heartbeeps in there lol

 

Is that John Anderton between T-Rex and Frank Abagnale? 

 

Can't quite place who the girl is between Macaulay Culkin and Heath Ledger and feel like I should remember.

 

I think I see Book Thief peeking out from the stand to the left of Schindler, but not totally sure who's diagonal-back right of him or playing piccolo in front of him.

I think it's Julia Ormond from 'Sabrina' playing the piccolo.

I met the artist of this at a con and bought a very large print that haunts my living room. Once I saw Heartbeeps, I knew I had no choice. Dog included for scale

 

 

 

Here’s his website https://beardedartist.net

That's either one big painting or one small dog.

I'm instead using the electrical outlet to judge the size of the artwork. lol

Wild guess -- Geena Davis in THE ACCIDENTAL TOURIST?

Wild guess -- the kid who played the Dalai Lama in SEVEN YEARS IN TIBET? I also think the piccolo woman must be Julia Ormond from SABRINA, as Mr. Hooper said.

 

Shame that only the LOST IN SPACE robot made it as far as his 60s output is concerned, but more would be too obscure, I guess.

 

Either way, great - albeit busy - piece of artwork. Congrats on getting an actual copy on your wall, Taikamochi.

I would have rather guessed Karen Black from Family Plot because she has that slight squint.

Maybe, but her hair is slightly different in that film.

[Taikomochi 1,405]

I believe it’s Gilligan’s Island

Mary Ann?!? That may very well be, yes! If so, a second 60s item. Cool!

Of course!   
 

I love that score, so shame on me for missing that.

Karen Black crossed my mind too because of those unique eyes of hers, but I didn't know from what movie. I think you got it. Does she wear her hair like that in the movie?

[Taikomochi 1,405]

I think when I bought the art, it came with a card identifying everyone (that I’ve since lost) and I’m like 95% certain it said Gilligan’s Island. I remember because that was the one I had no clue

Well if that's supposed to be Dawn Wells, the likeness is way off to my eyes.

[Taikomochi 1,405]

Not all the art is great lol. There’s other weird stuff like Heath Ledger’s badly compressed spine, but it is what it is. I love it.

It's the best fan art of Williams I've seen. It's clever too. I'd love to have it framed on my wall.

[Andy 7,137]

Oh WOW I love this. 
 

I may have the shell out. 
 

its Heartbeeps that does it.  And Wild Bill Kelso.  Indy looks like he’s really trying his best.

Do you have a dog, BB-8, so we can compare for size?

 The large head above Robot, Peter Pan, and War Horse: is that supposed to be the BFG? He reminds me more of Gary Oldman's Dracula.

Yeah, it was a weird facial expression to use for the BFG. I'm guessing it's supposed to mirror the T-Rex roar on the other side, for balance.

Gary Oldman being close to the Lost In Space Robot is fitting enough, I'd say.

Maybe BFG is supposed to represent the choir. Looks like he's singing "Korah! Rahtahmah!"

I could bring some prints to Vienna. ;-)

John Williams Sculpture by Nijel Binns - Fine Art America

[Andy 7,137]

Cool bust sculpture, but who would want to buy a photo of the sculpture?

[mrbellamy 7,882]

It's not even a particularly good photo...

[Andy 7,137]

Indeed.

This one I actually got from an artist in the UK online about ten years ago, have it framed.

Looks more like Robert Englund to me.

I know, but just when you thought it was safe to go back into the water you will believe a man can fly on an adventure 65 million years in the making because they are no longer dead.

I don't know.  Ask Zimmer.  Turns out, he is just better.

It’s a well known fact that according to Timothy Chalamet Zimmer is the greatest film composer of all time.
