The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

This series of charcoal drawings on bristol board are meant to mimic the actual 19th century photographs from which they were taken.  Some even had backwards numbers and lettering from the original photographers printing and I drew them that way to retain their original antiquity.   They range from the famous to the infamous,  the murderous to the heralded.  The drawings are mounted on 11" x 17" pinewood with wood burned descriptions of each individual.
