Thanks Sam.
Big fan of Moebius - and the Heavy Metal mag.  And yes, big fallout 4 fan. Love
50's architecture and furniture. Reminds me of the house I grew up in.

I did the sketch a few days ago. Will probably design a few different titles.

My sketch work is getting rougher as I've gotten older. My hand work was much
better before I relied on computers. :)

Below is a link that has better drawings and older work.

I do go back a ways. I have some POV work from '92. :)
Mike.
