Description

This is an artwork I made for the "for the love of music" contest [link] by ~BloodAppleKiss

The artwork was heavily inspired by Blues (and Partly Jazz and Boogiewoogie) and then mostly by the older musicians like Leadbelly, Charley Patton, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Mississippi John Hurt... I actually can go on for a while. I really like the music style... Somehow it simply fits. For me it is music that makes you want to move instantly. For me that is the strongpoint of good music when it manages to touch the natural "rhythm" of the body.
Just when I was listening to some good batch of Blues somehow this idea grew into my head and started looking for the desired resources. Took me a while before I finally was happy with the showing music without showing music idea.

Again the artwork is built up by several stock resources. Below a rundown of what is used and from who it came.
The Sax player is from *Ahrum-Stock
The car is from Mancity on SXC [link]
The Background Paper is from ~GeneralVyse

Swirls Brushes by =Coby17
Swirls Brush by *redheadstock
Grunge Brushes from `gorjuss which I found on the photoshop Advanced CD
The grass/branches growing in front of the car is from a brushes set I already have for a while and I can't remember how and where i got it from. If anybody recognises it please give me a shout and I can give credit where credit is due.

Skyline and the rest is done by me
