This Year's Model (fan art)

After coming across Untitled! last weekend, reading the whole archives in one sitting and concluding it was uncommonly good, I had an idea for a tribute which refused to go away until I'd drawn it.

So, I give you: four the Untitled gang as Elvis Costello and the Attractions, in a group shot based on the My Funny Valentine (a cover, appropriately) sleeve.

(I think their relative heights are a bit off. And I've no idea how many of you will've seen that sleeve. But what the hey.)

[Edit: switched the pic to a slightly more stable server. Tsk.]

Rock! Welcome JimRob! That is so cool, words cannot possibly describe it!!! I'm afraid I'm not familiar with the album cover, (though I know Clockwork Orange) but I'm very struck by the picture!

Schweet.

Mike... do you have more quotes like your sig file?

That's a great picture Mr Roberts!
Sadly I don't know the original you formed it after, but I think I'll have to look out for it now.

I was actually wondering already if I post in the forum here about the link and recommendation you posted lately on Albion Fuzz (yes, I happen to read it regulary, it got a nice sense of humor, and I like it

), but this way it's a lot better to give you credit for it.
So I recommend everyone now to take a look at Albion Fuzz, it's good.

Found it. 'Oliver's Army', UK Release, back cover.

Thanks muchly, all. (Half the extra pictures I do now seem to be based on Elvis Costello - odd, since he's not really one of my favourites.)

Ahhh, Elvis Costello. I like his music, I should find out what he has done lately.

*sigh* I can't see it. My computer won't let me see .PNG pictures. Sounds like it looks pretty good though. Congrats!

I probably should've anticipated that. Here's a gif version.

Once again, you really doo have a niffy art style, and that's "doo" with two "o"s in it!

Thanks muchly. Of course, it helped that I could just copy the poses...

Well, I just read through your comic in one sitting and I like THAT a lot TOOO! And that's Tooo with three os!

And now for the word "Go" with 7,048,873,832 O's after it.

Geez, I feel like I'm an echo...but I still have to say that that is very, very cool. I really like how you dealt with the background (the window, door, and wall)-it reminds me of something, I don't know what. Nice piece of work!

And Albion Fuzz rocks!
