Ray Charles 1930-2004



I know this is very late, but I didn't want the death of Ray Charles to go unmentioned (and I was too upset to write about it before now). Rather than a written tribute, I figured I would post this picture instead. This is a beautiful pen and ink drawing I bought a year and a half ago in Montreal from a street portraitist named David McArthur. He had this hanging on his wall as a sample of his work (I think it was drawn in 1978). It wasn't really for sale, but he let me buy it anyway.
