Hank 2





Fightclouds, summer 2019

Hank








One of the Bluto drawings that I used as a reference was like this guy only both his eyes were closed, I made a t shirt of that guy and when I wear it people ask if it's me....hank was my nickname in Minneapolis because I have such a common scandinavian name. In an effort to make a less cartoon like Bluto I opened one of the eyes....and here's Hnk..
