High Water Everywhere (Charlie Patton) 2011


"High Water Everywhere"

The irony of it all, is twice this image got washed away from the surface: once via the clear-coat, the second time due to nature. Charlie Patton, king of the Delta Blues, wrote several songs about a huge flood he witnessed, back in the day. Thanks to Daniel Tiberius for helping me connect the dots.

thanks for all the cool art - I think the patton one could have been a little more...i dunno how to put it... "refined"

in the sense that it has that quirk, but doesn't look quirky itself
