Gah, you stole my idea! It's good though. I take it that's him in Carnegie Hall. I was going to do it in pencil crayon, been ages since I've drawn and all I have in my notebook are unfinished drawings. (and what I have on DA sucks) Anyway, I'm glad someone did it. I never would have gotten around to it. Very well done too..

I like what you've done with the wood-grain especially. I want a little background, though, like maybe some hint of water.

coool
you're familiar with Waits
well... the problem with doing art inspired by his stuff...
is that there's so much to be inspired by
but there will be more to come for sure

The angle brings a dramatic mood to the piece, although the positioning of the floor boards at that angles looks odd at first. The method used to create the bloodshot in the eye works well too.

what i wanna know is how does he say:all you got to do is Book me into Carnegie Hall" when :"I know you can't speak I know you can't sign",and also how does he do any of this nwhen he was born without a body not even a brow? tom,old boy,you are one kooky old man. i still love this song tho.
my favourite line is :He's not conventionally handsome,He'll never be tall"
yea anyway. cool piece.
