Billie Max...

Another REGISTER GUARD

obituaries illustration was drawn of

Billie-Max-Willie.

PLEASE know that these are drawn with the intent

to honor the reposed and their full lives.

Please forgive me if it offends anyone,

I am in no way ridiculing the reposed.

I am artistically inspired by their lives and accomplishments,

so i wanted to illustrate them.

Nothing macabre, no nefarious reason, i'm

drawn to people who have had noted presence in life.
