the usual suspects

The Loaf's Best of the Blotter is on newsstands now; I finally got my hands on a copy this morning. I don't have a PDF of the actual cover but my illustration appears above.

Inside, looks they used almost all of the artwork I contributed. I'd thrown in four sketchy faces to use as incidental accents around the text, and oddly enough only the three males got placed. Here are all four of them.
While drawing these guys, I was listening to an NPR interview with John Waters, who was discussing his new Valentine's CD. I think some of Waters' trashy aesthetic informed the final outcome, especially with the hooker lady.
