The second of the Manson Tetralogy, and certainly a different piece to draw. He is a very effeminate looking man at the best of times, so having him looking like Marilyn Monroe, and still trying to keep a ‘manly’ quality to the portrait was always going to be a challenge.

I don't know where I found this image, or whether or not it is a photoshop jobbie or what, but it made me laugh when I saw it and I thought that it would make a wonderful drawing. And it did.

I was drawing these pieces as a portion of a plot to show them to Mr. Warner himself, which unfortunately never eventuated, but I did get copies to his personal security guard, who said he would give them to him, so who knows. I never heard anything.
