Description
Medium: Ink on paperThis is my depiction of James Butler Haycock, a.k.a. Wild Bill Hickok. The cards he's holding is known as a "dead man's hand." According to Western legend, those were the cards he was holding in a poker game, when he was shot dead. I guess that's how the "dead man's hand" got its name!

Very cool. Is that Aces and 5's? My eyes aren't good enough to see which cards are with the Aces.

No, the "dead man's hand" is composed of aces and eights.
