John Bonham
John Bonham
Original art by Todd Goodman, acrylic paint and gold leaf on 40"x30" canvas. Prints are available on matted photo paper or framed canvas. Original painting is for sale.
This painting is based on the iconic Bonzo photograph pictured here, by the legendary Red Carpet/Rock & Roll photographer, Jeffrey Mayer, shot in 1975 at the Los Angeles Forum. I had the honor of meeting Jeffrey, pictured here in 2019, at his first Solo exhibition of his iconic Rock & Roll photography at Fathom Gallery in Los Angeles. As a life long drummer and Zeppelin/Bonham fan, this iconic image has always spoken to me, and been my favorite picture of Bonzo. When I saw a social media post that Jeffrey was holding his show up the street from me, I knew I had to go in to meet him and see his insane catalogue of work in large format, and I was not disappointed. You can check out some of his work at jeffreymayer.photoshelter.com
I could write dozens of paragraphs more about John Bonham, how he was the greatest Rock drummer of all time, and how much his music means to me, but I'll let the painting do the talking. Bonzo for Life!
