My younger brother Andy (on the right) and a friend of his from school spent an afternoon in the spring of 1971 running around our backyard with toy guns, gunbelts, and western hats.  My Dad was there to capture some of it in photos.  There is something  almost ecstatic in Andy's gesture of pointing the gun at the camera.  The dynamic between the two figures seemed quite compelling in a way that made it an obvious choice for a Figurines drawing.

 

The ancient slide I worked from had been digitized in particularly low resolution. I have always been a bit of a details enthusiast, so, of course, I found this frustrating.  I decided to go ahead anyway and hope that the low resolution fuzziness might come across as a kind of gesturally rendered urgency.
