This is Why No One Takes Me Seriously

A piece I recently finished that is an ode to a bunch of different things. But, mostly an ode to the music of Queen.


I had done these two sketches, that are below, a few months apart, and wanted to create finished pieces from them, but I didn't want to re-draw Freddie Mercury, which makes no sense to me, and I also didn't want to be completely tasteless with the words that I was going to include in the banner that is blocking young, impressionable minds from viewing all that is natural, yet considered indecent. So, I married the two into one big, immature creation saluting skateboarding, the imminent danger that is naturally associated with it, one of the greatest songs ever, evenings in the park under some sort of atomic sunset, and of course, birds.

Initial sketch:


There was some electric yellow all over this piece, but was too shy to really show off once it knew it was going to be making an appearance on here.
