The Shadow of the Placemat

If the rule was "will draw for food", I hope he ate very well.  Nice drawing.

This is more detailed than many pieces done on regular paper!  Maybe done in the spur of the moment, but has a pulp illustration look that works so well in the theme of an old school diner mat paper!

Methinks he tipped the waiter too much ;)

'I'm Picasso!'

What a beautiful tribute to the pulp illustrations.   The detail is amazing. The Shadow's slouch hat is done to perfection. 

Looks greattttt.  Too bad it was not dated with an exact date

Well, I was gonna send Vinnie and Sally around to 'educate' Mike about not dating his random artworks, but on the other hand, real collectors of (an artist's) artworks should have enough of a discerning eye to be able to slot works into a rough estimate of just a few years....
