Mars Attacks Heritage - Mexico Awakes to Attack

Cards 101 and 102 of 106 sketch cards done for the Mars Attacks Heritage trading card series by Topps.

Pardon me as I make up some titles here...

With a large stack of cards to do in a short period of time I tried something new here. Repeating, yet tweaking, images and playing with grey tones.

Mars Attacks cards first appeared in 1962, conceived and produced by Len Brown, Woody Gelman, Wally Wood, Bob Powell and Norman Saunders.
The Heritage card series is celebrating the 50th anniversary, which is now already reportedly sold out.

Eating Fireflies

Mishearing someone tell a story about when they were a kid, thinking they said they ATE fireflies...well, at least it gives one the needed birthday card image...
So, introducing: Pepita, the little Mexican girl who ate fireflies...
