Artist's Comments
U2 is my all time favorite band, and I've been wanting to make a new U2 picture for a while now. This portrait (drawn on watercolor paper and colored digitally in photoshop with my tablet) is based on a photograph that I took when I saw them in concert in Buffalo in December of 2005. Picture completed in January of 2007.
For those curious about the title of this picture, and if you were ever wondering where his nickname came from, here's an explanation. Bono's real name is Paul Hewson. When he was younger, he and his friends used to regularly pass a hearing aid store in Dublin called "Bonavox". His friend Gavin Friday started calling him Bono Vox, claiming that he sang loud enough for the deaf to hear him. Bono wasn't originally too crazy about his nickname, but when he found out that in Latin the phrase "Bono Vox" loosely translates to "good voice", he decided to keep the name. It went through a few evolutions - Bono Vox and Bono Vox of O'Connell Street - before it was finally shortened to Bono.
Wallpapers sized versions:
- 1024 x 768 (can be sized down for 800x600)
- 1280 x 1024
Prints of this are now available!

And I can totally understand that. Vertigo was just a trifle overplayed on the radio.
