This print started life as a B&W shot. It was taken from AC/DC’s show at the London O2 in 2009 during the Black Ice tour. Although the B&W test print looked sensational I felt colour would bring it alive but the colours of the original lacked a little punch. Taking the B&W artwork I painstakingly hand tinted the image using a graphics tablet. Matching flesh tones and clothing colour from the original. I then applied a dot mesh to the background and airbrushed the red to blue effect behind. To create the ‘Tokyo Dot’ effect I knocked the red channel slightly out of register giving the dot ghosting to the background. This print has so much atmosphere and is a great portrait of Angus in action! Printed on the heavyweight 330g cotton paper really adds so much to the look and feel. It is a 20×16″ large print and limited to only 50. Each one is numbered and hand signed in pencil.
