I drew the cover to this week's
Riverfront Times, and it features beloved local radio mascot,
KSHE's Sweet Meat.

And if there's anything I love more than cute/weird corporate mascots it's REAL ROCK RADIO. KSHE just published a coffee table
book documenting classic St. Louis rock history and this drawing is documenting that. Here was my idea:

And a tighter sketch:

And the final drawing, after simplifying the scene a bit. That is an autographed picture of Sammy Hagar on the mantle.

Here's how I colored the drawing initially, sticking to a muted nostalgic scrabook vibe:

I like the more festive final colors better, but I don't like that Sweet Meat's white ear-hairs somehow got lost along the way. SIGH. If anybody was curious about that little drawing inside the scrabook, it's this legendary piece of St. Louis-related Classic Rock Memorabilia:

Thanks, Sweet Meat!
