WE HAVE A WINNER in the “Name The Joe Walsh Painting” Contest!

January 18, 2014 By GuitarDaddy

Joe Walsh Print Named

(01/18/2014) Breaking News from Tom Noll:

I’d like to thank everybody who took the time thinking about my painting, and submitting possible titles. A lot of good ideas came my way from around the globe. And thanks to the GuitarBuzz for hosting & monitoring this event.

One name in particular hit home with me, as it not only described Joe’s playing as I’ve portrayed him in the painting, but also, it described me doing the painting. That name, and the winner, is “In the Zone”, submitted by Diane Blue of Boston, MA, USA.

Diane will be receiving print number 2/250 next week when they start shipping. After making this title decision, and looking up Diane for the contact information, it appears Diane knows all about being “In the Zone” as she’s a fellow musician. Nice call!!

Congrats!!

Thanks to all of you that pre-ordered prints during this contest. For others of you that would like to purchase a print, as of this moment, there are still a few single digit prints available. Contact me and I’ll hook you up.

 Until next time, keep on rocking!!

Tom

CONTEST: Name This Joe Walsh Painting to WIN A FREE ART PRINT!

December 31, 2013 By GuitarDaddy

 CONTEST OVER – WINNER ANNOUNCED! 

Artist Tom Noll has been honing his talent for years in preparation for this masterpiece of the legendary Joe Walsh.

Tom Noll's Sketch of Joe Walsh

Tom Noll’s Sketch of Joe Walsh

Tom says “I am super excited about this project as I’ve followed Joe since his early days. I remember listening to the James Gang back in high school art class, and thinking then, that it would be cool to do a painting of Joe. That was a long time ago…so its well overdue. What a great way to kick off 2014”.

Now, with close to 60 musicians immortalized on canvas, and an international art reputation as the Rock n’ Roll portrait artist, Tom is ready to sink his teeth into this project!

Joe Walsh is a classic American musician who has been a member of three commercially successful bands: the James Gang, Barnstorm, and the Eagles, and holds the number 54 spot in Rolling Stone magazine’s “100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time. Besides being an incredible talent, Joe has a way of poking fun at himself and life’s situations, and his wit is infectious.

As his popular song portrays, “Ordinary Average Guy”, Joe is genuinely likable and people can relate to him like a good friend who’s there when you need a lift & a smile. This new Joe canvas is coming to life, and Tom is ready to share it with a little creative challenge for you!

IN TOM’S WORDS:

“I need a steller name for this painting…something other than just a song title, so I’d like to see your imaginative ideas here on the GuitarBuzz. I’ll pick the name from those submitted, and the person who nails it, will be rewarded with a complimentary limited edition print.

You can follow the painting progress on my website for inspiration by CLICKING HERE.

I’m looking for delivery of prints in late January 2014, so let’s wrap this contest up at midnight Friday, January 17th. I’ll pick a name and announce it Saturday, the next day.

This will be fun…Good Luck!!”

-Tom

The limited edition (250) print reproductions will be produced with an image area of 27″ x 19″ (48.3 cm x 68.6 cm), and introduced for a short time at $259, plus shipping of $8.95 US and $16.50 International.

To reserve your low numbered print, CONTACT TOM at Tom@TomNoll.com and he will secure your spot with your email. If you’d like to prepay, he will offer an additional $10 savings with a price of $249. Just let him know, and he’ll send a paypal invoice to your email.

Print Specs: The 27″ x 19″ artprints are super high quality giclees, which utilize fade resistant UV archival inks. They’re produced from the original oil painting, and are rolled and shipped in a rigid tube along with a certificate of authenticity. The prints are perfect for matting and framing, and will be a cool addition to any room.

Joe Walsh – GUITAR FACE

February 14, 2012 By GuitarDaddy

Joe WalshGuitar Face: The act of making an unusual face while playing the guitar. The look typically resembles a look of pain, intense ecstasy, or sometimes even plain old gas.

Guitar face is a horribly disfiguring condition effecting tens of thousands of guitar players around the world.

Blues players (particularly electric blues players) seem to suffer the most horrendous effects.

Joe Walsh gave us a fantastic “guitar face” during the 2004 Crossroads Guitar Festival.

Note: This post originally appeared on TheGuitarBuzz a couple of years ago, but after seeing Joe on The Grammy’s, I thought it would be fun to dig it out of the archives…
