Illustration Friday: Muddy

"MUDDY"

This topic put me in mind of "the Big Muddy Mississippi", the Blues Man, Muddy Waters, both of which put me in the mind of the "Delta Blues." In response to these, I put down this free hand watercolor in about an hour. Quick and loose, I used as muddy of a pallet as possible. I've named him South Paw.

Taking my shot at entering into Escape From Illustration Island's contest to win the new Drew Struzen DVD! Wish me luck!

  1. Appreciate the looseness of the drawing, nice to see that. Background colour looks as though it were the music itself, easy and unassuming.

  4. Great looseness-- a sort of casual energy that fits the type of music. Love the limited color, too.
