His irascible nature, however, led to his being sold to the Yankees in 1919 launching the Curse of the Bambino on the poor Red Sox.

This is fabulous! The lighting and foreshortened perspective are terrific. I especially like how your line is heavy in the foreground and diminishes with distance, right to his silly little feet. One of your best! (So many to choose from …)
ReplyDeleteReally interesting - love the line work and character in the face - great style.
ReplyDeleteFantastic! I have to agree the topography of the face is really cool. I love the ink drawing just before the final. (I also recognize the Monopoly banker guy in your bottom sketches, tho that could just be someone who looks very much like him!)
ReplyDeleteYes, that is Mr. Monopoly; --his original name was Rich Uncle Pennybags, and I believe his first name was Milburn. The twirl concept for him focused on the curl of his mustache ( like the Dali' below) mixed in with the various contortions that he's illustrated doing on many of the Chance and Community Chest cards.
DeleteNot as strong a concept as the Ruth idea methought.

What everyone else said except I'll add Wow!
ReplyDeletePerfect balance so that the twirler keeps spinning and doesn't fall down (All those form, content and art elements things + those beautiful planes)
ReplyDeleteGreat moment of anticipation. I like the texture and soft tones of the uniform. The light to dark of the background works really well with the twist of the form
