Basil Wolverton

Basil Wolverton is one of my favorite artist of all time. I don't think I have ever seen an other artist that was so good at being so grotesque. All the little cross-hatching that he put in to his drawings gave them such a textured, visceral feeling.   He was a master of capturing ugly, gross, disgusting people with such a fun, lighthearted approach.

From time to time I try to draw like him but always fall shot. here is one of the many pitchers I drew with Wolverton on my mind.
