Artist Gets Seal Of Approval From LED ZEPPELIN Guitarist

July 23, 2008

According to The Hunts Post, 25-year-old UK artist Jon Ellinor recently received a commission impossible to turn down — he was asked to produce a painting for legendary LED ZEPPELIN guitarist Jimmy Page.

The deal was that should the painting live up the Page's high standards, it would be signed by the rock star and added to an exhibition of LED ZEPPELIN memorabilia celebrating the 40th anniversary of the band.

Jon, who lives in St Ives and grew up in Earith, told The Hunts Post that his work has now been given the Page seal of approval and is among the collection of rare vinyl, old concert tickets, clothing and other items going on display in Hertfordshire. His painting depicts the band in their very early days and was produced from a photograph taken in the 1960s.
