This was one of my best, to this day, and I over erased it.  Too bad.  This is one of the ones that I would occasionally draw in the midst of a whole lot of bad art. This is me with a neighbor, a young giant who could press 600 lbs and I saw him do it.  He was a monster and very likable.  In this pic Billy is drawn just the way I see him.
