Here's another one I never got around to painting. (just buying a little time till I'm able to post another cartoon.)
Ever seen the 1931 Dr Jekyll and Mr. Hyde movie starring Fredric March? It's one of my favorite films. Mr. March won an Oscar for his performance in it, which is almost unheard of for a horror film. The beautiful Miriam Hopkins also starred. That other Dr. Jekyll film starring Spencer Tracy?.. don't waste your time. This is the one to see.
So, I thought I'd do a tribute to it back in '97, combining March/Mr Hyde in full make-up with a vintage biker setting. That's one of my other loves, old motorcycles.
Maybe one day I'll get around to painting it, who knows. Don't hold your breath. ha!

When I was growing up, we had Classics Illustrated comic books and one of my favorites was Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Your Mr. Hyde is so modern! Heheh!
