Does Prince draw and paint? There's the photo of him in bed with paper and brush on the inner sleeve of 1999, but I've never seen his artwork anywhere. Can anyone post some?

You realize that doesn't mean he was painting a picture in the middle of a photo shoot, right?

It seems as though he has a rudimentary level of drawing ability. I think his handwriting lends to that as well. He's very neat w/ his handwriting. I'd like to see side by side drawings from him and MJ. MJ did some interesting pics in the Thriller album that he drew.

He "painted" the cover to 1999. He also did the cover to the Gett Off single.

Vanity painted the 1999 cover.

Uh....no.

Those were more "cartoony" weren't they?

I'm working off memory here so feel free 2 correct me.

I'm sure if U watch the "Gett Off Maxi Video" U can see some of Princes artwork on the walls of Paisley Park. I remember one of a woman with a metalic looking symbol on her calf.

I also semi-recall reading a Sheila E interview where she said Prince painted those pics but I can't remember where I read it.

They're still drawings of which a lot of people probably couldn't pull off. I know I couldn't.

SHUT UP!!!

It's a dream of mine to be a painter, my sister is the one with that talent,
If prince does draw I wonder if he would ever draw me? Nude, with only a red G-string on

Anxiety said:

I´d love he likes painting and drawing like me

Maybe he use to.

Prince could paint me.

Body paint.

I'm sure Prince does paint and draw...I'd love to see his work someday. I do, but I'm still an amateur. I went into a Thomas Kinkade gallery the other day and I had always thought that Tom had painted "N's," for his wife Nannette because she had died, well He paints those "N's there because his wife and her family was very supportive while he was trying to get his painting off the ground. She is Living and that was nice to hear. The gallery manager told me that a lot of people make that assumtion.

I don't care about the other jive on the cover, I just wanna know who drew the phallic number one? LOL I giggle every time I look at that cover.

It's not the 1999 album like they want you to think!

It's the "Penis" 999 album. Think about it. A penis followed by three nines...I wonder just what Prince was trying to tell us! LOL. And if it's what I think it is, the man must be tripping over himself every darn day. LOL.

PANDURITO said:

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA

LOL Thanks Pandurito I almost shot coffee thru my nose laughing at that pic...

Anyway, where's the proof of Prince's artwork?

And can we get a close up of his booty in that 1999 picture, please?

PANDURITO said:

Great.

LadyLuvSexxy said:

I second that emotion. That is the stuff dreams are made of!

Chiiild that booty had me staring at that for about 10 minutes in the store when I bought it. The clerk up front must have thought I was a lunatic.

not what I heard from what I would consider a reliable source. But also not at liberty to give source, so I guess your info is as good as mine.

Zannaloaf said:

Every band member talked about that cover and how Prince put it together, and put "and the Revolution" backwards and how they wondered if that's what the band would be called...etc etc etc.
