Notes

Bought from HA. Design Markers ink on 2-ply bond. Bright & lively conceptual piece for Aragones’ 7th MAD-spinoff paperback anthology. The sketch closely resembles the finished product, but the color scheme does vary from the published cover — this one is move vivid, and the predominant colors are quite different. The bullet holes, as if in the midst of a showdown, are a brilliant touch.
