Tribute to Earl Oliver Hurst

Hey, there! Here goes my first post for The Autumn Society.
Above these lines you can see my last contribution for Illostribute, this time devoted to the premier pretty girl cartoonist Earl Oliver Hurst who mostly works for Collier's in the 1940's.
Since I'm not at all in the same Hurst's wavelength, I finally did a ridiculous version of one of his illos. It was an interesting experience indeed.
Enjoy!

Thanx Alex!
I've just been browsing your work over at Lawn's Murder. It looks awesome and disturbing at the same time, that's for sure!
