a twenty sixth cartoon...'sheffield elvis'


The title of this cartoon is intended to be tongue-in-cheek.  Richard Hawley is not Sheffield’s answer to Elvis in spite of his hair; he is very much his own man, and a great singer-songwriter to boot.  Very few vocalists possess Hawley’s deep, rich baritone, and he has re-claimed the chiming tones of the Gretsch guitar for a modern generation.  The style of the image is intended to pay homage to The Old Grey Whistle Test, hence the desiccated grain, and garish pinks and purples.
