Hack Slash - Clown and Teddy Bear

The one and only blank Artists Exclusive (AE) / Return I had. And now it’s gone.
Requested characters were the Clown or the Teddy Bear from “Slice Hard”, so I did them both.

The Hack/Slash sketch card set was released by 5Finity

Hack/Slash created by Tim Seeley in 2004.
And I think he came up with Mortimer Strick, the clown, and also the (nameless?) Teddy Bear.

King Kong

The card that wasn’t good enough to get me on the upcoming King Kong sketch card project. Ho hum.

King Kong was co-directed by Merian C. Cooper and Ernest B. Schoedsack, and written by Ruth Rose and James Ashmore Creelman after a story by Cooper and Edgar Wallace in 1933. So I’m not sure who gets "created by" credit...
