Description
Scott Morse did it first and did it better.That'll be a refrain in my life so I'm getting used to saying it now.
Acrylic on a ukulele. Some kind of Sunbird and a Gourdian Finch on the front with a Lionfish on the back.

nice job mate it looks cool, i've been watching your page for a while and i like your painting style with watercolor.
but theres a bit of a concern when painting musical instruments, specially if u r doing a paint job for a pro musician.
acrylic paints generally makes a thick coat and will alter the instruments resonance or sustain somehow.. therefore using several light coats of lacquer would be a better choice and will give great results with an airbrush.
i hope this would be helpful to u, and i'm looking foreward to see more of ur artwork.

BTW, I remember Marylin Monroe in Some like it hot (great film) was playing ukulele - this one would fit her perfectly

Wow, beautiful use of acrylic. The blending on the sunbird and the lionfish is really well done. I also like how faded the scroll work is and the flower shape at the top.
Not sure I get the relation ship of the birds to the fish, but well done none the less.

Thanks, man.
There isn't a massively strong connection between the animals but the side of the uke (unphotographed) is a waterline so the front bit with the birds is above water and the back is under water.

Haha, that's awesome!! Morse does his own thing pretty well, but your stuff is super unique and you do it just as well.. if that makes any sense.. haha

I was just scared people might comment on how interesting it is to paint a ukulele so I thought I should say it first rather than explain later.
...but I think Scott Morse is incredible at what he does
