I went into serious potato mode this weekend while I did this drawing,watched Stir Crazy,Blazing Saddles,Silver Streak,Bustin Loose,Richard Pryor in concert,Blazing Saddles,and Young Frankenstein......It is rare a drawing turns out as I saw it before starting but this one is pretty close so I am happy with it.Great comedy duo of Pryor/Wilder taken from Silver Streak (train) and Stir Crazy when they were the woodpeckers dancing in the bank.....be a smart bird too....you little pecker you di-um-duh-dahhhh...Pastels on velour paper.Adding a black and white version where I basically just made a grayscale file of it.
