delta scrape

Alright, these two boys've got the best delta scrape I've heard. The Delta scrapes that scratchy voice you get from sucking up too much dust, whiskey, and cigarettes in your life.

what will we say now that the adder has turned black?

when the face of oppression is masked by our own?

Will we still rattle our shackles after we've transposed their marks on his  wrists?

Is this the change we sought coming, or is the coming change a turn from white and black to horrible gray?

will we fight so vigorously now that it is no longer them against us, but just us?

One more week of college, I've been waiting with baited breath for this one. I'm coloring pages feverishly to keep up with posting deadlines and prepare my work for submissions. Times ticking but I cant help but look up old blues men for inspiration there's so many great fellas I haven't discovered yet. Just came across ol Furry Lewis

and Bukka or Booker White

Anyway, keep checking out the Tug Benson web-comic every Monday and Thursday. 

Tug Benson web-comic up!

I just posted The Tug Benson website yesterday. It doesn't look like much yet, but in time as I figure out comic press, I'll make the site cooler. Also, since I only post Monday and Thursday you won't see any unseen pages for a couple weeks. that's all from me.

I've been working on inking more up coming pages for the Gospel of Tug Benson comic. This is just a spot illustration for the banner. Originally the comic was going to be a web comic exclusively, but during comics art forum a couple of the visiting artists advised me to start submitting the story to publishers. If it got picked up I'd get some green up front, unlike a web comic. Anyhow I'll keep you's posted. The site should be up in a week or two.

This took a bit of time to color, more than normal really. I kicked the power cord out of my computer after a hours worth of work and lost it all.

this is a editorial comic I'm doing for a contest about our financial crisis and it's causes. I picked the issue about credit card companies targeting college students.
