Another Sketch Page

Just messing around with an idea that reminded me of Ralph Steadman's work with Hunter S. Thompson. I rediscover Steadman's cartoons every so often and I always get this uncontrollable urge to "get weird" in the ol' sketchbook.

The Duke

After watching "El Dorado" for the jillionth time, I got my watercolor pad out and did this. By the way, has there ever been a more drunk, clueless, spittle-ridden sherrif than Robert Mitchum's?
