Richmond Guide Fall 2008 - Robert E. Lee... The Duke Of Hazard

Initial sketch...




Tight pencils...


Inks...



Finish.




If you're familiar with RVA you'll know about Monument Ave. It's one of the main boulevards that runs through the fan neighborhood in the heart of Virginia Commonwealth University. At almost every intersection you'll find a monument devoted to a different civil war hero. Since the idea for this issue was to place some of  RVA's historical figures into a contemporary context  Frank and I thought it might be funny to have General Robert E. Lee driving the General Lee from the 1970's show The Dukes of Hazard. on his monument.
