A very early take on #DollyParton .
This was when I was just beginning to learn to use Illustrator. It looks so primitive! Sadly, I can't find my original files for this. I have so much work that's been lost to flood, fire, corrupted hard drives and disc rot. But Dolly (& my love for her) has always been a constant in my art!

This was inspired by Dolly's take on ELUSIVE BUTTERFLY.

Maybe I will re-draw this; I know I can do so much better now!

Another early take on #DollyParton , when I was still learning Illustrator. Again, the original file seems to be lost to the ages.😔

Inspired by Dolly's song DADDY, COME AND GET ME. Sometimes, I crack myself up!

I gave Dolly a print of this when she was making an appearance at TOWER RECORDS to promote her LITTLE SPARROW album. She thought it was hilarious and was surprised that I knew her early songs. She slammed her hand down on the table and insisted, "I'm keepin' this! I AM KEEPIN' THIS!"

That's a good memory that I had forgotten!

Another take on #DollyParton .
I drew this after her show at HOUSE OF BLUES Las Vegas; I saw Dolly, Cher AND Cyndi Lauper's shows that weekend! And of course, I drew them, too! It's hard to believe now that I used to have adventures like that, but I did! That's when I used to earn actual money, and that's the kind of thing I spent it on (instead of real estate 😳 ).
Tsk, this is another piece that I can't find the original file for.

Another of my takes on #DollyParton .

I drew this after her show at RADIO CITY MUSIC HALL. By this time, i'd learned (the hard way) to backup my orignal files in multiple places and multiple formats!

This is my favorite of my takes on #DollyParton .
I love all eras of Dolly, but late 70s speaks to me most. I feel I've come closest to communicating her spirit here!
