Grantland/McSweeney's - Killed Piece

A while back I was contacted to do another illustration for Grantland/McSweeney's. This time it was for a piece about the AFC/NFC championship games. It consisted of realtime emailing during the games between various writers for the site. There were a lot of components to illustrate but in the sketches I zeroed in a few. After taking one of the sketches to final they decided they wanted just Steven Tyler so I drew a bigger Stevie. After all this, unfortunately the piece was killed. These things happen sometimes and I at least now I have a grotesque Steven Tyler illustration to show you fine folks :)
