Hey, I'm 19 years old and drew these portraits of Eddie

Hey, I'm 19yo and idolise Eddie Vedder sooooo much!!! I just wanted to share some drawings I did. I drew them both in graphite pencil, the first one in 4hrs, the second one in 7hrs. I love the Gigaton album so much, it is in my opinion the best album ever! Seven O'clock is my favourite song EVER, along with Super Blood Wolfmoon. But I also love Riot Act...I can't decide. Love Boat Captain is amazing and everytime I hear it, especially the lyric, "Hold me and make it the truth," I get emotional. State Of Love And Trust, I ABSOLUTELY ADORE, and I can't believe that's a single/B-side and not recognised, it's amazing. There's AT LEAST 100 other songs I can ramble about, but what I mentioned are my favourites. Besides the songs, like I said, I idolise Eddie Vedder soooooooo much, I think (no, I know) he's extreeemely amazing. He's superrrrr kind and funny and I've laughed at SOOOO many things he's said, and he should be a comedian on the side if he could (icl). I laughed for 2 days at the story of guitars vibrating like puppies in a kennell. And his music has pulled me out of so many tough times lately. I've been through sooooo much the past couple years; ptsd, anxiety, catfishing, injuries...but everytime I listen to him, I know I'm okay. As much as I can be okay, anyway. 

Anyway, this is a huge thank you. As much as I can give a thank you.

From a huge diehard - and young - Australian fan.

Good stuff! Love your exuberance ! Don’t let that fade, or get jaded… keep that youthful joy alive! Your 2 favorite albums have good amount of experimentation in them… I love em too. Riot Act was during the toughest stretch of my life.. songs like Thumbing my Way, I am Mine, LBC, All or none tear be up pretty good 

keep up the artistic outlet… and enjoy what’s next from the band, I’m sure there are some more gems to come

 Thank you so much, that means the world. Riot Act is definitely getting me through a tough point, too (2025 has been a rough year). And I'm sorry for the stuff you went through.
