Illustration Friday: "Year of the Rooster"

El Pollo Loco or The Ladies Love The Cock, 2005 • Graphite and Pentel Brush Pen

I just had to do this, even though there are more pressing issues at hand. Several influences on this one:

• Joel Trussel's Cartoon Cockfight
• House of Buggin'
• Ong-Bak
• the recent stories about cockfighting in Louisiana
• My ever-increasing 312 pound frame (yup, it's self-caricature)
• Foghorn Leghorn (of course)

Now I can truly concentrate on other stuff. Happy Chinese New Year, y'all!

P.S.: On an unrelated note, do yourself a favor and pick up Jaime Hernandez's Locas: A Love And Rockets Book. I'm in love with it, totally.
