Carrie,

A stunning and beautiful image that befits the legend that is Mr Johnson. You are indeed a truly talented artist…

PS you know us photographers live in awe of those among our number who don’t need a camera to produce an image like this :)

Excellent work.

Thank you very much Mark!

I love the particular details you notice slapyamonkey! Thanks for your comment!

excellent work!

Thank you so much Donna!

great work, and I love the back story to the subject

Wonderful portrait, Carrie!

Thanks Oli and Ben!

I’m sure Mr Johnson would be very proud of this if he was still around (wonder if the devil collected on his bargain) – A great tribute to a great artist.

Thanks Flamejob, yeah I wonder too…hmmm…

nice art gotta love R.J.

your welcome carrie

Ha! ain’t it funny? i just put “Me & Mr. Johnson” by Clapton when i saw this, great record by the way.

Cool pic – it’s interesting: you broke a rule I learned as a photographer: Do not cut things off – here a piece of the guitar is missing, a piece of the arm, the tip of the shoe …. still the overall impression is: there’s nothing missing at all. Very well done!

Great drawing of one of my favourite blue performers, fantastic technique, shows your usual great talent

Fabulous work! You’ve put so much effort into this!!

since your such a fan, i would suggest watching an episode of Supernatural, called Crossroad Blues.. largely features his music.

love the pic of him though! =)

no problem! hope you like the episode =) be cures to see a fans reaction

not wild and crazy, but generally yeah i am. i dont mind blues music at all =) ill take it over rap any day

theres a band i like thats kind of considered blues anyway. Blues/ Rock I guess..

wide mouth mason … bet u’d like them =)

hehe anytime

Very beautiful!

Excellent clarity and detail

Really fine piece of work.

love your portriats, deceptively life like.
Just saw your personal artsite…wow!

absolutely! Names Kenneth but i go by Kenny, Ken, K, KG, Kenny G haha!

wow….amazing portrait…wonderful talent : )

Wonderful portrait, Carrie. Can’t see the devil sitting on his shoulder, but I’m sure he’s in there somewhere. lol You have achieved just the effect you were looking for! :)

I love Robert Johnson !!! this is great ..it was only yesterday ( i kid you not ) that i was looikng at THIS photograph, (the original) and thinking it would be nice to scan it and do something different to it….i know theres only a handful of RJ pictures around ( if that) but i thought against it for copyright reasons….But this hand drawn version is awesome…And for anyone else who does’nt know much about his life do check him out, this guy is where it ALL started !!!!!!

Wow, what a great portrait of Robert Johnson, caught my eye because I off to see Buddy Guy and Keb Mo next week, so the Blues is running quite hard in my veins at the moment. Really fab piece of work…

Excellent full spirit

Beautiful image

i love your work. It’s funny that art has any kind of rules, isn’t art really about breaking the rules anyway!

I just watched a special on Robert Johnson, hes always been one of my musical influences. I was moved by how hard his life was and how tragic and mysterious his death became. You seem to have captured one of his happier moments in this portrait. Im sure He’s smiling down on you. Great job!

Just brilliant work.

Your work and talent will take you many places,congradulations.

A fine tribute to a great legend. I am truly in awe of this kind of talent. Well done.

This is an unusual sight. I don’t see too many portraits of Robert Johnson these days.
You must be a true lover of blues music. This is an awesome image! I love it!
The detail, and tones are absolute perfection!!
Are you familiar with the Rev.Gary Davis, Lead Belly, Or Howlin’ Wolf? I love blues music.
I have lots of favorites. You should take a look at the work of a friend of mine here at RB.
Her name is PennyEdwardes. She does all hand drawings in pencil, and charcoal.
Thank you for sharing this fine art. It’s much appreciated!

Fantastic!! Great job on this!!!

Fantastic!!! Simply wonderful!!!

Breathtaking really.

This is truly amazing…You have a God given talent.

Incredibly realistic!
