The blues, rendered in wood, wire, and resin
Gary Clark Jr. “I Got My Eyes on You” is a tribute to one of the most talented musicians working today, inspired by watching him perform live at Lollapalooza. Rendered in acrylic, wire, and resin on stained wood, the piece captures Clark’s swagger and the gritty, soulful sound that has made him a modern blues icon.
Inside the Art: The Story Behind Gary Clark Jr. “I Got My Eyes on You”
I painted this piece after seeing Gary Clark Jr. perform live at Lollapalooza, an experience he describes as life-changing. Rather than work purely in acrylic, I built the piece from mixed materials: real wire stands in for guitar strings, recessed beneath the surface and encased in a flat layer of resin, adding genuine texture and dimension to the instrument.
The wood itself is stained a burnt orange, a nod to Clark’s Austin, Texas roots, and paired with an olive green suit that gives the portrait its confident, lived-in style. I focused the composition on Clark’s hands, the true instrument of a blues guitarist, while wood grain, drips, and polka dots surface through the paint to echo the raw, gritty sound of his music.

Print Technique & Materials
Prints are reproductions of original paintings using a high-quality inkjet printing technique known as "giclee."
Unframed and framed artwork is printed on archival cotton rag paper, which is acid free and will resist fading and discoloration for generations. Unframed prints on paper are unsigned and feature a 1.5"-2" white border around the image. Most unframed prints are non-standard sizes and will require a custom mat to properly display the artwork, though the outer dimensions of the mat will fit standard frame sizes.
All framing is custom made to the exact specifications of each image, with an acid-free white mat and acrylic glazing (glass is prone to breaking when shipped). Most prints are non-traditional sizes and will not fit properly in mats or frames purchased off the shelf, therefore custom framing is recommended.
Canvas prints are referred to as "gallery-wrapped" because the color or image wraps around the sides of the canvas and it is stapled on the back. The canvas is wrapped around 1.5" deep wood stretcher bars and arrives ready to hang.
Framed canvas prints feature a "float frame," which has a 0.25" gap between the edge of the canvas and the frame moulding. The frame is 2" deep.
Custom Mat for Unframed Paper
Most unframed prints are non-standard sizes and will require a custom mat to properly display the artwork, though the outer dimensions of the mat will fit standard frame sizes.
You can purchase a custom mat from your local frame shop or online. If online, we suggest Matboard & More. Choose Arctic White in Decorative Quality, or if you prefer to upgrade, select White Art in Conservation Quality.
