| Mitchell - Fishermen's Tale |
The mitchmen take on angling hooks has many elements in common with Etienne and Tom's but I can't remember if I was aware of those images when I drew it. It was largely inspired by the pose of the subject which is more overtly homoerotic than the 1950/60's artists. It's based if I remember correctly on imagery from 'Inside The Big Apple' publication or around that 80's era of Phil Flasche etc.
There's a humiliation ingredient shared with Etienne's take but a different pun in the title I gave it, which indicates a slightly different, more melancholy strand of thought along the lines of 'the one that got away' - or the one didn't even exist in the first place!

I previously published this image in 2007 but this is a new, better copy if you are a collector.
