Moving on to drawings of Texan musicians, here's Mike Jones. Who? MIKE JONES!
This is drawn from a photo in the booklet of his debut album, which I was hugely enamored of for a couple of weeks, and now am just okay with. Anyway, I like the way the marks on the right side suggest both tone and shape, and the minimal way the headwrap is drawn does the same, in almost a completely opposite way.
And going from crunk to country here's local legend Redd Volkaert, rendered in a similar grey-marker style as that other redneck peckerwood down below. But, there's good redneck peckerwoods out there too, and Redd is one of the best. Goddamn that hillbilly lookin' son of a bitch can pick a guitar! This drawing is based on the cover of the latest Austin Chronicle, and isn't entirely accurate in showing Redd's features. The real Redd has a shorter nose and a longer upper lip. Also, he's in color.
