Tom Waits-christmas card

Description

This Christmas card wasn't from a Hooker in Minneapolis, but....whaddya gonna do, right?

This is very similar to the other Waits piece I did, but I wanted to have some fun and make a nice Christmas card last year. (yeah, not many of my friends understood how Waits, a dead tree, and a fire-engulfed hand were good subjects for Christmas...but those people are just ridiculous, aren' t they? :D)

Anyway, this was done up in watercolors and colored pencils. about 7X 5 inches or so. If you guys want me to put it up as a print, I'll do that. I have a lot of plans for more Waits pieces that wouldn't fall into this vibe, so hopefully I'll get around to them this year. I want something that feels straight out of Big Time and Frank's Wild Years...

So enjoy the picture!

This one, and the Strange Tree of course, are my favourite portrait to Tom Waits. I will be glad if you allow it to the new DA group called InspiredPencils https://www.deviantart.com/inspiredpencils. The main focus is on inspiration we get from other people, like musicians, scientists, writers etc.
