STAGGER LEE

11" x 14" Speedball super black India ink, Windsor Newton series 7 #2 brush and Fude brush in Canson sketchbook

On Christmas Eve, 1895, in a St. Louis saloon, "Stag" Lee Shelton, a black pimp, shot William "Billy" Lyons. Eyewitnesses say Billy snatched Stag's Stetson hat. Boom, boom, boom, boom went Stag's forty-four. You don't mess with a man's hat.
