Clark Beckham made it all the way to the finale on this just-wrapped season of American Idol, and he never compromised his artistic integrity, sticking to his guns for his entire run.

Yes, sometimes Clark butted heads with Big Machine Label Group head/Idol in-house mentor Scott Borchetta. But when Clark came by Yahoo Music the day after the Season 14 Idol finale to draw something for our wall of fame, he insisted that he has no regrets. And his piece of original artwork, simply depicting a piano keyboard and acoustic guitar, proves that in Clark’s mind, this show really WAS called American Musician after all.

See Clark unveil his drawing, explain why his debut single “Champion” doesn’t exactly represent what he’d like to do musically in the future, and discuss why he’s so thrilled that his pal Nick Fradiani ultimately won Season 14. And check out other Season 14 contestants’ original artwork in our Idol Illustrated series!
