Me and two of my Kid Krazy artist friends are navigating the perameters of an exciting art show opportunity. Drove down into the Beast this morning to look at the wall space which is actually in a large hallway, and, after about 50 feet it turns to the left into a very dark space and that is where I think I can make some serious hay with scenes like this.
Daily Revised Whip Out:"Death Crouched Waiting Under A Blood Red Moon"
One of my prized possessions is a noir art print from Maxfield Parrish, "Night In The Desert", 1902.
This is what I am channeling here.
Just for grins—and insurance,—I did another set of the same scenes with a little more commercial graphic novel illustration in mind.
Daily Revised Whip Out:I actually prefer this version of the Kid realizing there are two strangers on the porch and he springs back like a cat. Got it!
More Kid Coverage
When the legendary Texas Ranger Frank Hamer and his posse ambushed Bonnie and Clyde, in May of 1934, the authorities found inside the bullet-riddled "death car," Clyde's saxophone, three BARs (Browning Automatic Rifles), two sawed-off shotguns, a dozen hand guns, fifteen sets of stolen license plates and a book, "The Saga of Billy the Kid," by Walter Noble Burns.
Wait! There's even more. This just came in from Mark Lee Gardner:
The husband of Walter Noble Burns' cousin was Thomas Mabry, who would later be New Mexico's governor, and, who, in 1950, would interview Brushy Bill Roberts to determine if he was really Billy the Kid and grant his request for a pardon. Brushy wasn't, and Mabry didn't grant the pardon. The irony here is that Brushy Bill probably got most of his information from—you guessed it— "The Saga of Billy the Kid," by Walter Noble Burns.
