Bob Dylan channels Frank Sinatra

Blowin' in the Summer Wind...

Bob Dylan will be releasing his tribute album to Frank Sinatra in Feb 2015, Shadows in the Night. To celebrate the occasion I created this image of Dylan posed in an iconic Sinatra pose. The illustration will soon be released as a limited edition print:

    Drew's cover is about a thousand times better than the generic one they're going with, as pictured on Amazon. You can preview track 7, "Fool Moon and Empty Arms." With all due respect to Dylan, it seems to be beyond his range. I'd buy it anyway if it had Drew's cover.
