Description

In my History of American Illustration class, we ran across this guy named John Held, Jr. He was a famous illustrator during the '20s, for his cartoons of people dressed in the crazy styles that were appearing around then. They say that fashion even began to imitate Held's art!

At which point I realized that it would be crazy amounts of fun to draw Lackadaisy in a period-accurate style. It's not pushed quite enough, but I think the general feeling is still there. And it's really fun to draw 8D
