This is Thelonious Monk. He is a great pianist. I love the power, strength, and deep eyes in this piece. This is from his Time Magazine cover in 1963/4. It was suppose to be the cover, but President Kennedy got shot and they delayed this cover till 1964. Anyways, Thelonious Monk is a great Jazz legend. I love painting people who are strong. This painting to me just says don't mess with Thelonious, because I am one bad ass mo-fo. Here is the Time Magazine cover.
Here is his bio on wiki
