Ronnie Wood is now equally as well known for his music, his rock and roll lifestyle and his love of young ladies.
But perhaps this month will be the moment when he finally gets the recognition he deserves for also being a talented artist?
One hundred of the musician's finest artworks - dating from the Sixties to the present - will be appearing in his solo exhibition which opens on November 7 at London's 28 Cork Street gallery.
Talented artist: Ronnie Wood's sketch of him and his Rolling Stones bandmates
Faces, Time and Places is co-curated by Wood and American gallery owner Brandon Coburn and the pictures all come from a collection of 'many hundreds' of Wood's works that belong to mega-fan Bernie Chase, 54, an American multi-millionaire.
They range from a technically accomplished 1962 self-portrait of the 64-year-old looking serene and neatly presented from when he was receiving formal art instruction at Ealing College.
At the other end of the scale is a cheeky (quite literally) self-sketch from 1974, Waking up in the Wick, where Wood is depicted as a suitably dishevelled rock star in his new home at The Wick.
The highlights though are the Rolling Stone's sketches of some of the world's greatest musicans including Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, Blondie and, of course, his bandmates.
They are not depicted as icons, but as close friends.
And many of the images - particularly the charcoal portraits - are really rather good. Even art historian Brian Sewell has called Wood 'an accomplished and respectable artist'.
