I made these flea bitten varmints in 1997. Back then I was into illustration mediums like gouache, watercolor and colored pencil.
To be honest I was never really into cowboys, I did like parts of Blazing Saddles though.
Around this time I had a few of my grayscale pencil drawings published in zines and was horrified to see how washed out and anemic they looked. To fix this, I started drawing in black and white with rapidographs and ink brush - probably the hardest medium I’ve ever worked in. Eventually I made a set of stickers that I posted around town. My one attempt at graffiti art - which is not really in my nature.
