So much amazing work. I can almost always tell a Jack Davis drawing by the expressive hands and feet! He also made drawing beautiful women look ridiculously easy, just a few lines and there you are!

I used to love going to SOI every Feb to see the annual illustrators show. Wish I could see this one!
Is there still the bar upstairs with the big marching drum signed by famous illustrators?

Jack Davis and Don Martin were my favorite artists at MAD; the former for his spot-on illustrations, and the latter for the absurdity & the sound effects.
MAD Magazine twisted me into the abberation I am today…
She was not quite what you would call refined. She was not quite what you would call unrefined. She was the kind of person that keeps a parrot.
–Mark Twain
I’m not a she, but you get the idea.
And I have a parrot.
