Go Ahead, Make My Day!
While digging through the Manley Archives (my attic) I came across this copy of the Michigan Cinema Guide I did way, way long ago. I did this I think in the late summer or fall of 1984, I was just 23 years old. I remember having a fit with my airbrush which i used on parts of my background and also scrambleing to ge ref for the Golden Gate Bridge as this was somewhat of a rush job, and there was no internet then. If I remember there was a new Dirty harry movie coming out at the time. I was paid a whopping $300 bucks, which was a lot to me back then, the drag was they kept my original.I was pretty darn excited to do it at the time tough.
Hi Mike
ReplyDeleteBeen enjoying your Blog for quite some time, (in silence, I hate to admit). You've shared some great comic art, paintings, sketches and photos, but slap up a Dirty Harry pic and I gotta chime it!
Thanks for sharing some of your early work.
