Dust Storms Over Pinal And Blackhawk

March 20, 2015
    Curator Cal has been on me to label and date the growing pile of DWOs in the studio but sometimes I can't label them without seeing things I want to improve. These will be familiar to the oldtimers who follow my blog, but here are the "improved" versions: 
Daily Whip Out: "Heavy Hangs The Star"

    This was a study done to illustrate a Classic Gunfight on The Wham Payroll Robbery, but it needed something. So I spent about fifteen minutes this morning tweaking it and, to me, it speaks to the heavy toll law enforcement takes on everyone who wears a badge for a long time. These people, most of them, good people, see things nobody should have to see, or do, but they do it with professionalism and with courage. I admire them for doing stuff so we can live lives of relative comfort and safety. Thank you.

Daily Whip Out: "Dust Storm Over Pinal"
