This is another "Dead Couples" piece I made. I wanted to create a "gangster" dead couple but i didn't want to put Amor Eterno in the banner because i had two already, but i had to put something. I was a Venice Beach selling my artwork with my girlfriend who makes bows, and i showed her my sketch. Then she came up with POR VIDA!!! haha the so it fit!!! and tan tan!

I was going for an Elvis like character...but it went wrong...and for some reason i didn't draw real teeth on him. This just made him look old... and when i added his shirt... he just reminded me of the main character for AMERICAN ME (james olmos) when he is was in prison. So old timer it became..!!!
