Old Drawing - 1983

Tired of looking at picture-less SOE Layoff post.  Let's brighten the mood a bit with this cheery little drawing:  Going through my stuff and found this from thirty years ago, around when I first moved to San Diego.  Didn't do it for any reason in particular.  Obsessed with skulls and little pen-and-ink hatching lines at the time.  The more little lines and dots, the better.

Stippler!!

I like yr positive sentiment in bringing some art goodness back to the blog deck.

Yr illo looks like the key illustration on the front page of the LA/NY Times Book Review section from back in the day. "The U.S. and South America: A Requiem" or something....

I will have to post a stippled piece I did for the Claremont Collegian college newspaper that depicted "Young Mainero" ... full page take off of the "Young Frankenstein" movie poster depicting the two rivals running for student body president on campus. Lots of work, mucho detail, turned out really well. Expect a scan next Tuesday. ;-)
