After I had completed this illustration and sent the original to the client, a newsweekly on the East coast, the art director called to let me know he got it. We got to talking about Waters and how much we both enjoyed his films and what a wild aberrant creative force he is. Then, the art director told me Waters was coming into the office for an interview and asked if I wanted his autograph. I said sure. Well, weeks passed and the illustration was returned in the mail. When I opened the package I saw someone had scribbled across the illustration. Furious, I stormed into my studio picked up the phone. I was ready to assert myself when I noticed the scribble read "John Waters"! Just in time to thank the art director for getting me that autograph. Isn't that well…Devine?
