He's Got Stripes. . .

On A Monday I Was Ar-rested (Uh Huh)
On A Tuesday They Locked Me In The Jail (Oh Boy)
On A Wednesday My Trial Was At-tested
On A Thursday They Said Guilty And The Judge's Gavel Fell

I Got Stripes --- Stripes Around My Shoulders
I Got Chains --- Chains Around My Feet
I Got Stripes --- Stripes Around My Shoulders
And Them Chains --- Them Chains They're About To Drag Me Down

On A Monday My Momma Come To See Me
On A Tuesday They Caught Me With A File
On A Wednesday I'm Down In Solitary
On A Thursday I Start On Bread And Water For A While

I Got Stripes --- Stripes Around My Shoulders
I Got Chains --- Chains Around My Feet
I Got Stripes --- Stripes Around My Shoulders
And Them Chains --- Them Chains They're About To Drag Me Down

I Got Stripes --- Stripes Around My Shoulders
I Got Chains --- Chains Around My Feet
I Got Stripes --- Stripes Around My Shoulders
And Them Chains --- Them Chains They're About To Drag Me

Dam,

Thank you for the kind comment. He was pretty fun to draw. Sometimes you just luck out who's enjoying the breeze in front of you

Best,

Awesome stuff. What mediums did you use?

Thanks guys,

Marcelo,
Considering the entire technique, materials and ideology in this drawing is from your influence. . . It's only fitting I'm channeling you in all other ways. In that case, this drawing is now entitled. -"A MAN named Sue!"

Bobbo,
This is all done with a thin pen, a thick brush pen and PrismaColor markers.
