Often, musical tributes involve a very direct render of the musician, but The Devil And Mr Johnson by ~Amotion takes a more circuitous route, and one that gives positive results. Robert Johnson may have had a hellhound on his trail, but this makes you wonder if it followed him down this particular backroad.

Description

Ever heard of the blues man Robert Johnson? Legend has it he went down to the crossroads, and at the stroke of midnight he met the Devil, who exchange for his soul would tune his guitar so that he could be the greatest blues player. But the Devil is evil right? Sure enough the Devil took Robert Johnson's life early on so that he could never enjoy the fame and fortune his music would bring.

This is loosely based on that story :) Black and white Acrylic paint with ink colouration and ink detailing. Cardboard.

Listen to "Crossroads Blues" by Mr Johnson to hear the story :)

Lot of mistakes in this, so it may be changed or completely redone at some point- just really had to get down and dirty with some traditional stuff.

PS Frame+title
