Praying Mantis: Legacy Alternative original pencil drawing

After forty years of being a Rodney Matthews aficionado one of my ‘bucket list’ wishes has come true. I was able to buy this ‘Legacy’ draft and Rodney agreed to dedicating this for me. ‘Keep the legacy alive’ stands for both this magnificent artist’s exquisite work and Praying Mantis’ ongoing output, which I was thrilled to experience live last year, before the pandemic locked us all up. And besides great art, Rodney and Sarah are lovely people, totally kind and lovable. As are the five Praying Mantis band members, two of whom I happen to know in person - the Dutch rock scene is not that big 😁 In the end, this is not so much a review as a token of my great admiration for the people involved in what will soon be gracing my wall. Thank you so much for the legacy, that has been a wonderful companion for all of my adult life so far. May it last for another four decades.
