ESPN Magazine

First sketches...

Original inks - notice the dope helmet I initially gave A-Rod. Too bad it didn't make the cut.

Mike - These are amazing. I love seeing the progression too. I'm still searching for the Mag out here in the waste land of Long Island. (There's no newstand on the corner.) Looking forward to seeing you next week.
