Caetano Veloso has been called the Bob Dylan of Brazil -- a popular musician who has made staggering artistic and intellectual contributions to his country. As Caetano says, "I make my records as a painter would paint his canvas". In fact, he makes every melody he sings sound luminous and newly discovered.
This is a small (1/4 page) portrait illustration created at the beginning of 2006 for The Grand Encyclopedia Everest ( Spain ). Some b/w low resolution photos of Caetano provided by Art Director and photos of my own guitars used for reference.
