One of the hazards of working on matchbooks is that they are flammable.
Amateur artists and may spontaneously combust if not properly supervised.
Shit Happens.
PS - Don't try imitating this at home. Only under professional supervision.
I submit, for your viewing pleasure, two new pulp matchbook drawings I recently completed:
Both of these works are direct commissions -meaning I worked one on one with collectors to create something they desired to see. You want something created with you in mind?? Contact me here Jasondaquino@hotmail.com. We'll make it happen.
Happy 2014
