A few weeks ago, I went on a pretty awesome date. While we were wandering around Wicker Park, I saw a door that said "Empire Liquors" in gothic script, but I thought it said "Vampire Liquors", plus the windows were all blacked out and creepy.
The boy I was on the date w. invited me back to his apartment to draw shit on his walls. His apartment has a crappy paint job and the landlord basically offered to let him do whatever he wants with the walls. I had brought over some acrylic paints for this specific purpose. So I came up with this concept for a manga called "Vampire Liquors" where Al Capone is a vampire who starts his own liquor store in futuristic Chicago. Anyway, you can see the lovely illustration above. I am quite proud of it. It was a collaborative piece to the extent that my date thought that dracula should have a pink shirt and green hat. I am not sure if that is flamboyant gangster style, or just gay.
