Morski, the Gypsy Jazz guitar guru - Acrylic painting on canvas

[jameshsmitharts]

My pop art portrait of an amazing musician

A Brilliant guitar man

I have been going to see Morski play in London for years. His unique brand of Gipsy Blues Funk is captivating.
He really is so cool to see live and very original.

Originally from Bulgaria, he moved to Harringey, artist village, a warehouse community in North London. It was there that I met this amazing guy.

Morski has been doing gigs around London for ten years and plays in The Turbans Band and Gipsydelica.

Some videos I found of Morski gigging in London

Gipsydelica Live Rehearsal:

Gipsydelica Live at Shunt:

The Turbans Live at Jamboree. Starts to really pick up at 2:00. Morski is hiding in the back for some reason... XD

I highly recommend checking out the Turbans on Spotify. They are awesome :)

I am currently doing a painting Exhibition at Jam in a Jar, North London. My portrait of Morski is on display there along with six other paintings.
The exhibition is going on through June so check it out if you're in London.

Jam in a Jar is a cool music bar and cafe that hosts some pretty talented bands. The vibe there is very chilled.

I will take my camera down there soon and take some high quality shots. I'll be sure to do a post about that soon.
