This was created by a very good friend of mine and really captures the feel of what I'm trying to create. The old school blues, The Delta Blues, The Acoustic Blues, The raw emotion of it all.

thanx again  for the kind  words   Dave  ,   the metal   resos ,    is   the  ( "elemental "  line ) 

the  familiars were solid wood bodies     .. and  i no  longer   deal    in  the  wood  ones    ,  that line was passed  on /  bought out  by     a local  guitar shop .  ;-)

I sure love my Witch. It's a simple one compared to the more graphic recent ones, but that's just what i wanted. It sounds great and looks awesome. I know Uncle loves his. Pick's an amazing artist and a go getter, for sure. I love the new metal factory Pick's "Familiar". I want one of those (when i get some extra $). Maybe i'll do good at holiday sales?.... :^)

I'm looking forward to the finished result myself. From the other Witches I've seen Pick doesn't seem to disappoint and always gives it's owner something unique and special.

Wow Pick, it's great to hear how you do your art. Way cool. Being an old graphic designer, illustrator, i know how into the technology you have to be. Mine was a much earlier day with different tools. Your method brings great results. It will be fun to see what you do for Blue. Have fun with it....

for  your information   - jim ,   it's a combination  of about  5  different  royalty free   clip  art images  (thats what they are for )  and   original   drawing  / aspects  . all  mashed  together   in    windows   paint  ..  with  me drawing  and subtracting  other   elements  .    the  black    silouette  with the hat   was a  small  boy  with no   hat   facing the  other  direction  .     i  flipped and   re-sized  him  and added  the  hat   ,  and drew the smoke  in , on top  of   another  piece of  clipart as a background   that  had   the devil  shadow  on the  wall  .  i  erased  the  original  figure  casting  the shadow  ,      with  the   flipped  man  in    the  hat  ,  whose  face  i  also  changed to  look  older .   then  i  matched the shadow      leg  with   the    mans  leg  better ,  i  drew in the  cigarette  and added the smoke  ,  i  also    drew in  the    devils  flame  breath  , and   reshaped  his mouth .  i    resized     random  bricks and    pasted them  in    more  random  spots  ,    i  drew  in  and colored  in    the  table  and   drink  and bottle  .  then  i  edited  it  in  a  photo   editor     adding    the  background and adjusting  color ,  then    i     placed  it  in    paint  again and added the  text  . 

now,  are  we  done this  pissing  contest    yet  ?

 i  thought we were .
