Iggy Pop James Newell Osterberg, Jr. (born April 21, 1947), better known by his stage name Iggy Pop, is an American rock singer, songwriter, and occasional actor. Although he has had only limited mainstream success, Iggy Pop is considered an innovator of punk rock, garage rock, and other related styles. He is sometimes referred to by the nicknames "the Godfather of Punk" and "the Rock Iguana", and is widely acknowledged as one of the most dynamic stage performers of all time. When I saw the photo of Iggy Pop I immediately decided that I wanted to do a painting of it and try to capture some of his dynamic presence within the artwork. I used masking tape to create the effect of separation within the image, as I was taking off the tape it dragged white paint across the artwork, I liked the effect so much I used it over the rest of the painting.
