Seeing Sounds

Tom Waits has an incredible voice.
This is what I drew of Tom Wait's sound. The top half of a cat soaked in liquor and a megaphone stuck in it's heart. I had fun doing this painting. I used ink, watercolour, and charcoal.
I am not particulary satisfied with this drawing but it did convey what I wanted to say. I have always wanted todo a charcoal-black watercolour spotted background.
I wished I showed the acid underneath the cat though.

I cannot explain the reason and the idea behind it, it is too difficult. The scanner made the colours lighter than they are.
