SKETCHBOOK: "Mascot Makeover"


Last summer, I was sketching in Lawrence, KS while my wife was taking an evening class. I must confess that I have often made fun of her alma mater's mascot...what kind of bird is a Jayhawk, anyway? So I decided to beef it up a bit. The color version above is a photoshop variation of the original sketch below.

(And for any university representative whom I've just made nervous, this is a "parody" for my own amusement and is not intended to be used for any kind of product...unless you want to make an arrangement...but you'll probably have to chat with Marvel Comics, too. No lawsuits please!)

  2. Shouldn't that be
    "Rulk Chulk Jayhulk"?

  3. Jayhawks are dirty killers from across the border. Not like us patriots from over here in MO. No, Warren, I will not "just let it go"...

  4. Well, J, that one ought to generate some lively chat...and I thought the rivalry with K-State was strong! I guess livin' in the past is what you history buffs do best.

    By the way...like the recent post on your blog...terrific paint job on all the Volborg regiments, and General Drago!
