Noir: Bamaby =DJCoulz

Digital Art / Drawings / People

(Something alittle different for the soundtrack this time, sorry to my Sinatra and Old-School traditionalist, but this song just screams Bama.)

"Whoa, Black Betty ( bam-A-lam)
Whoa, Black Betty ( bam-A-lam)
Black Betty had a child ( bam-A-lam)
The Damn Thing Gone Wild( bam-A-lam)
She said ‘I’m a worrin” out my mind( bam-A-lam)
The damn thing gone blind( bam-A-lam)
I said oh Black Betty ( bam-A-lam)
Whoa, Black Betty ( bam-A-lam)

Whoa, Black Betty ( bam-A-lam)
Whoa, Black Betty ( bam-A-lam)
She really gets me high ( bam-A-lam)
You know that’s no lie ( bam-A-lam)
She’s so rock steady ( bam-A-lam)
She’s always ready ( bam-A-lam)

Whoa, Black Betty ( bam-A-lam)
Whoa, Black Betty ( bam-A-lam)
Whoa, Black Betty ( bam-A-lam)
Whoa, Black Betty ( bam-A-lam)

She’s from Birmingham ( bam-A-lam)
Way down in Alabam’ ( bam-A-lam)
Well she’s shakin that thing ( bam-A-lam)
Boy she makes me sing ( bam-A-lam)
Whoa, Black Betty ( bam-A-lam)

Whoa, Black Betty
Bam-A- Lam."

Alabama Rose Caponetti, known as Bama. Heiress to the Caponetti family, and the Boss's only Daughter.

She's a mean one, Bama. Many gangster and other men have tried for this red haired bomb-shell, and many of them have never been seen again. At first it seemed like Daddy wasn't happy with her running around with delinquent men, and he was taking care of them. But people are beginning to suspect that it's not Daddy's doing, but it's the dangerous dame herself.

She is not one to be trifled with, and that's an understatement. She holds her own among the ranks, and is a keen shot and is excellent with a blade. Among many of her "partners" Lefty became one when the crossed paths in New Orleans, eventually they traveled around state-to-state, robbing banks and other miscellaneous crimes. Needless to say Lefty fell head-over-heels for her instantly. But like most Male/Female crime partnerships, it was not to last. Eventually they went their separate ways, Lefty simply returned to his job as his mob's hit-man, and Bama left probably in-search of new adventure in New Orleans. She's a hard dame to put down.

I don't know why Bama is so much fun to draw, but she is. And you guys gotta remember, I don't draw dames. Like ever. So, yeah, I dunno Bama's different, and you guys seem to love her, so more Bama!

I was showing my bro some Bogie and Fonda pics and I came across a pic of Rita Hayworth and I got the urge to draw Bama, Now Bama wasn't originally based off Rita, but someone commented and said she looked like her, and since then I haven't been able to separate the two, Rita is the perfect Bama. So this pic is based off a Photo of Rita Hayworth.

Seriously, how could Lefty get a dame like Bama?! Does not add up, he barley talks for christ sake!

Anyways, enjoy! She is always a treat to draw, and I hope you like it!

I know it's non-of-my-business, but I think Lefty is an Ass-man. XDDDD Sorry I had to!!!

Bama is gorgeous as always! I can't help but think of her as a 20's Virginia Hill. I can really picture her with Virginia's big mouth and attitude, haha!

I love all your Noir/Lefty work, I wish you would do more of it soon! Huge fan!
