Illustration Friday: Blues!


*link update*
So this is It, my first attempt to put a illustration on the web... I thought it was time and when I saw the topic of this week on the Illustration Friday I remembered of this pic here which I am quite fond of!
basically its is inspired by the time I was on the road playing guitar around the globe and feeling a bit like if Charlie Brow and Rob Flemming had blended into one:
to quote Nick Hornby, "High Fidelity"
...""Have you got any soul?" a woman asks the next afternoon. That depends, I feel like saying; some days yes, some days no. A few days ago I was right out; now I've got loads, too much, more than I can handle. I wish I could spread it a bit more evenly, I want to tell her, get a better balance, but I can't seem to get it sorted. I can see she wouldn't be interested in my internal stock control problems though, so I simply point to where I keep the soul I have, right by the exit, just next to the blues." Good Grief!

really nice work. it feels very cohesive which i think is tough with layering/collage.
