Description
This is the Blues. Or at least, this is one visual interpretation with artistic license of the blues, courtesy of your friendly neighborhood Scott P. 'Doc' Vaughn. What can I say, I like trains, I love old signs and lost places, and I love drawing beautiful women. This was interesting for me as a project as it was some things I wanted to try on several levels; This type of hatching, a full-page composition of a scene, and I hadn't tried a steam engine in years. I'm pretty damn satisfied on all of this. I plan to show this at a First Friday art walk in Nov. 06, so I rushed this ahead of some other projects... I hope you like.I made the print sepia... which version do you guys like better? Lemme know...
Music listened to while drawing this: Title derived from an Indigenous song. Also, Robert Johnson, BB King, Zep, Doors, Stones, John Lee Hooker...
The train was just a photo I found online, which I lost the link to. The train crossing sign was from a b/w photo I took in Brownwood Texas at a set of tracks across from the cemetary where Robert E. Howard is buried.
Pen ank ink, about 15-20 hours. 8x10ish
