Howlin Wolf Likeness

Howlin' Wolf

Howlin' Wolf (Chester Arthur Burnett) was an American blues musician and songwriter. He is widely recognized as one of the most influential songwriters of all time. Howlin' Wolf has influenced many of my favorite artists and has a very unique voice that lives up to his name, but there are very few pictures of him in colour which inspired me to create this project. I also found that a lot of pictures of him were out of focus or under exposed which made recreating his likeness very tricky, but also very fun because I had to do some detective work.
