There are 2 known photos of Blues legend Robert Johnson. I've used both as reference for this piece. Johnson is a favorite subject of artists because he has such a great legend surrounding him, as well as being the first real "rock star". He'd show up late for gigs, get drunk, and leave early with someone's wife. They say he sold his soul to the devil in exchange for being able to play like the devil. I tried to get an iconic feel to this, kind of a stained glass treatment. Someday I'd like to learn how to make stained glass and try this one out.
