A drawing I did for our annual music festival.

Did this for the Valley of the Vapors, a music festival a great group of folks put together in my town every year. I originally put it together for the official VOV zine but I'm hoping it makes it's way to a t-shirt for the show

Your inks are professionally smooth and confident.

I hate inking with a passion. But then, if I could ink like you, I probably would love it.

Ha! I'm the complete opposite. I'm so eager to get to the inking that I usually pencil in everything extremely loose and light. Fun piece though! Usually I'm so busy with boring freelance work that I hardly get a chance to put something cool together like this.

That's a nice strong design. India ink and brush, I'm guessing? It has a wood-cut feel.

All of the larger black areas were finished with india ink by brush but all the smaller details I did with Faber-Castell PITT technical pens (Wonderful pens!).

Nice job, you have my approval to be very proud of yourself. LOL
I like it a lot.

On edit:
What's that strange looking umbilical-like device protruding from the guitar? Perhaps some sort of leash?

hahahaha

I know, I'm that old+.

I was just kidding because I haven't seen a guitar cord since the days I listened to music on a cassette player.
