Booster Gold!


Here's the second piece I've done for a CGS listener who won the early-bird draw for this past weekend's Supershow in Reading, PA. Mark Allgaier of West Chester, PA was the gentleman who won one of my pieces, and he requested a sketch of DC hero, Booster Gold. For those who don't know, Booster is a bit of a glory hound, and corporate whore. He'll endorse all sorts of products if only to get his face out there in the public eye. He's even at one time, worn a costume with sponsor logos plastered all over it, much like a NASCAR jumpsuit. With that in mind, I pictured Booster on a classic Wheaties type cereal box. Here's what I came up with.
