The above image is a portrait of Giuseppe Verdi from my series '52 Composers'. I made it using a combination of traditional and digital techniques. The background lists some of his best known works. I have made this portrait available in various formats and also on some gift items which will make unusual presents for music lovers. You will soon be able to find here recommended books, CDs, and other related goodies.
