This drawing is kind of a continuation of "LOVE", a drawing I did in 2009. In that 1st artwork, love was a universal language, expressed without any word but through the sign language. Here, I want to illustrate how love for music can also be considered a universal language. Just think about all the people you meet through your love of a certain artist/band. Now, I know I could have drawn a CD or an MP3 player but the very first albums I've owned ("True Cool" by David Hallyday) or bought with my pocket money ("Step by Step" by New Kids On The Block) were cassette tapes and yes, I'm still listening to them more than 20 years later.

A few words about this drawing. First, it's a fanart and it won't be added to the Print Shop so no copyright infringement intended here. It's made just for practice (hairdo for the older picture, unusual angle for the recent one) and for fun! Why 2 pictures? Because Donnie Wahlberg is totally worth it ;) I used to listen to the NKOTB a lot when I was a teen and Donnie was my favorite. These last years, I've been following his successful career as an actor (which should give rise to another drawing sooner or later) without even knowing the band was back together! Now that I know it: time for a drawing illustrating these 2 NKOTB periods! To avoid an empty space in the middle of the drawing, I chose to add the logo of the Boston Celtics, the basketball team Donnie Wahlberg supports as well as the number he usually wears on his jersey. As for DDub, it's one of his nicknames.
