Here are some great soundbytes about Chris Compston's
work taken from Eric Kirkland's Lightning
Guider website:
"If you have ever seen a guitar with a painted
image that seemed almost too obsessively detailed to be a painting
and too like-life to be a photograph, you've probably witnessed the
incomparable art of Chris Compston. A handful of other artists paint
graphics on [instruments], but none that exude Chris' raw talent and
singular gift for creating and transferring liknesses onto a canvas
that has so many contours, challenges and irregularities. Chris doesn't
just spray paint on the [instrument]; many of his clients believe
that his inspired visions alchemically infuse the instrument with
a haunting soul. Chris' client list reads like a who's who
of rock and metal legends and his classic monster series, which includes
a reproduction of Kirk Hammett's Boris Karloff guitar, are some of
the most magnificent and appropriate renderings ever suffused on a
guitar."

art...
