I was inspired to color two versions of Jeff’s piece. I told Jeff that whichever one he liked best I would post on Panic, and the other one would find a home here on Sketchbook. The one you’ll find on Panic, I tried to make look like a black and white movie still.
While Jeff thought both were “monstrously great,” the “black and white version brings back such sweet childhood memories” that he decided to go with that one for Panic. Now, the alternate version you see here was liked more by Kathy and Sarah Potter, the women who make Jeff howl at the moon when it’s full. While they outvoted him, I decided to vote with him, thus creating a tie. Naturally, I make the posts to Panic, so I called the tie-breaker.
Congratulations Jeff!
Respectfully,
Wheeler

Wheeler, both your colored renditions imbued such a wonderful eeriness to the original piece that, like the hirsuite Mr. Talbot’s rudely imbrued and rent victims, I’m deeply torn as to which I prefer. I’m glad you posted them both.
Good job fellas! For the record I prefer the b&w as well.
