Description

Who doesn't love Bloom County??

This is an unusual piece I picked up off eBay and while it is unsigned, I feel comfortable with its authenticity...Update (Dec '10), now authenticated and signed by B. Breathed (thanks to Scott D.)!

As you can see it is the early, smaller-nosed Opus... The seller's listing said Berkeley Breathed applied at Bill Stokes Associates of Dallas, Texas for a job as a young man, this was part of his application, BB was not hired and went on to earn his fame. The application was submitted just after his Academia Waltz work so this is an early Opus drawing.
