I started this sketch late last night. My special lady and I had just gotten back from seeing Jenny Lewis at The Fillmore (incredible performance, by the way). I was playing a documentary on the Germany vs. Russia front of World War II, when this doodle started creeping from the tips of my markers. So I assume that's where some of the inspiration came from.
I gotta say, for as many war documentaries as I've seen, it still never ceases to amaze me how absolutely fucking BRUTAL humans can be. It' just insane.
Anyway, hope you dig the piece. Ghetto rock the casbah and all that.
