Roy

Roy is the first character in a series that I'm creating about vintage Americana. The focus will be primarily men that have inspired me. Both fictitious and real. I've always been deeply attracted to the fringe, it's in my nature. Be it art, people, culture, music. So many interesting aspects of American grit are gone, at least heavily subsided. You can always find it underground, where grittiness has always thrived. Roy looks as if he wants to kill you but really he just wants to be loved.

Shortly after I embarked on this homage, I found this amazing vintage photo of this hussy with a Roy tattoo. Perfecto!
