They wanted a Rock God… they got Jim: JIM MORRISON
“I am the Lizard King… I can do anything”
About a month ago I watched the film “When You’re Strange”… an artful documentary about the Doors, featuring Narration voice-over by Johnny Depp. The movie focuses on the Doors’ legendary singer-front man, Jim Morrison and it portrays him in a way that seemed new to me… I mean, I’ve been familiar with Jim Morrison for a very long time… but after watching this movie, I felt like all this time I had been missing something really special, and that now I finally “got it.” I’d say that’s the sign of a really good documentary.
So inspired by my new feelings about who/what Jim Morrison really was… I drew this characterization sketch.
Break on through, break on through – eh… eh.. eh.. eh.. eh!

Thanks for the kind words… glad you like the drawing. I was trying to capture the animalism of the onstage Jim Morrison that comes across in the Film.
If you’re a Doors fan, the you definitely need to see “When You’re Strange”… just a really well put together film.
