Jazz Quartet Live in Concert

When I think of great jazz posters from history, my first thoughts go to the great Al Hirschfeld, a wonderful artist and caricaturist whose incredible career spanned 82 years. Hirschfeld worked with many artists stretching across many genres of music, literature, and film. His works were so sought after that many artists used his pieces as their album covers. This poster is based on his work Jazz! Benny Goodman, Gene Krupa, Teddy Wilson, Lionel Hampton, and Duke Ellington. I felt this piece would be served better by using minifigures instead of the brick-built figures from the set. The juxtaposition of the flowing lines of Hirschfeld with the blocks of LEGO are such a fun mix.
