    whahaa! That's just so funny! Inspite of the wrinkles, both the illustration and the verses are cool! And look at Rebecca, she sure combines her shoes nicely with her underwear!

      I usually sketch away all night on cheap paper...occasionally I redraw an idea on better paper...sometimes I gouache what I have and make cellulite! All of her shoes and underwear are Leopard skin..she is a cougar.

    Look at you, gettin' all bluesy. I like it!

    Hey Rod, ever heard of Sonny Boy Williamson? One of my favorite blues men. I have an old record of his where The Yardbirds are playing backup for him, plus many Cds of course.

      Well Ted, I have always been a blues fan..Being a wannabe guitarist with my guitar collection(see my Fender Strat behind me on my photo) it comes naturally...I think I have some Sonny Boy Williamson on a trad. blues compilation CD somewhere...I love the blues...but it doesn't often enter my Artwork...this started as a head sketch and I gradually added stuff like the guitar...then when I decided to look up The Blues on wikipedia...that Rebecca song cropped up and I knew instantly this guy needed some large legs behind him......a lot of my work happens like that...sometimes I start with an actual idea/plan!
