Someone asked me, as I archive all of my work, if I forgot a drawing. It's more like the second I saw it again I remembered it. This drawing was for a record review for Audio Magazine. I did illustrations for their record reviews for 16 years. I completely forgot about this drawing until I saw it again. It made me laugh.
