Description
Same as the last upload!Deleted the old for an entirely new upload for this one
Touched it up, fixed some things (not all, but some!) and used the "real border" version (the previous upload had a cheap digital border). Being born and bred in the south, myself, I rather like the hilarious stereotype that southerners are backwater yokels that eat bugs and toe jam for brunch while trying to decide just which in the latest line of unfortunate, visiting, lost teenagers to cannibalize for supper.
Of course, I like this ridiculous stereotype because it's so much more fun than the boring "every day people" truth... well, sometimes you meet some that fit the above stereotype.
This is now available for a print
The character is my own, even if he's old now. Copic marker & gouache/opaque ink on bristol board.

I love this picture, the green and purple together really make an impact.

I've been told that a lot of people find ways to NOT travel to where I live, searching for alternate routes to vacation areas. They're apparently under the impression that we are ass-raping swamp folk.

Most people from the South are just family oriented and nice people. Accept for my cousin's neighbours in Arkansas who are indeed backwards crazy-people who shoot at kids who try and touch their lawn.

The colors and shading of this are superb - I love how you brought this stereotypical image to paper
I too am from the south- make that, southwest. In good ol' Arizona
I'm sure if and when you let out commissions, that you'll have plenty of takers
