Description As the big ol' copyright symbol suggests, this is one dug from the vaults. Done in old fashioned graphite - proper old-school! I remember having trouble getting the likeness and out of desperation I tried an extreme angle by looking up at the image - not something I ever do, but when you get desperate, you'll try anything. I also like the fact that it's kinda half-finished. I suddenly realised that I'd never posted it on dA. So, here it is. I'm reading my way through his stuff and he's about the best thing I've read in a long, long time. The language is incredible, but maybe not for the faint-hearted, heh!

Cormac's one of North America's few breathing literary ornaments, and this sketch is as evocative as any you've drafted. Your peculiar grotesque idiom is among the most arresting and detailed known to me. Are you familiar with the output of one Anthony Geoffroy ? His style's more cartoonish than yours, but otherwise akin for its grade of distortion.

Will you ever post your Burgess caricature? I'd love to view it here...

Many thanks, pal. Yeah, familiar with Anthony's caricatures; he's got a fantastic style. His Breaking Bad series is superb. Regarding AB, I'll have to dig it out...
