The Jimi Hendrix mural is made up of 5,000 Fender plectrums, the piece has been selected to be sold at a music memorabilia auction to raise money for Cancer Research UK, the piece is expected to fetch between £12,000 and £16,000. The style used for the portrait is complimentary to Hendrix's reputation and one of the great guitar companies, a pretty fitting tribute one thinks.
It's in similar essence to what I said before about Andrew Meyers who made portraits from screws and hand painting them, like this it's great if you can apply it to something, the follow through. So looking at the Hendrix 'picks', made out of guitar plectrums, Hendrix famous for his guitar playing skills and now been sold at a music orientated auction, bam! But again it's something that could be a great asset to a store or cafe/ bar, either by having that relation in a music store or simply because he is an icon and this would be a great focal point or piece of art.
