Climax Jim's Wild Ride
May 14, 2012
Been working on a new True West Moment featuring Climax Jim, a notorious outlaw from Northern Arizona. He once escaped custody during a bath in a horse trough, jumped on a nearby horse, totally nude (him, not the horse) and rode through Springerville AND Eager. Didi this rough sketch last Friday.
Went home for lunch and whipped out a new version, working on the sides of the layout and leaving the middle for text:
Met with Kate Hawkes today at three. She is the director of a new play which will premiere at the Elk Theater in Prescott in July: Fred and Mary: An Unconventional Romance. It features the relationship between Mary Jane Colter and Fred Harvey. More to come on that.
