United Star

Funny thing about this illo: it's called "United Star" because that's the name of the "socialist-workers-unite" kind of magazine in which it was published, in black and white, back about 1980 or so. This guy calls up wanting an image, had next to no money, so I did it but managed to paint what I wanted... I have no recollection, now, of what the purpose of it was! All I recall is that the person who commissioned it was Kelly Jay, the lead singer for a Canadian group called "Crowbar"...the odd sort of assignment that happens when you are starting out and hungry for exposure.
