Artist's Comments

Whitley was close enough to the twenty megaton bomb that hit the Borough of Queens to be enveloped by the chalky brilliance, rocked by the blast and sent scrambling out of the bus into the bleeding crowd thronging the yellow dust-filled street.

The sheer kenetic force of the explosion is very well communicated here without sacrificing too much of the detailed urban environments that are something of a trademark of yours by now. This is the kind of image that you feel.

nice job on the coloring, I must honestly say you didn't fully give the impact of the blast on the drawing, but I must say from that point of view that's not a simple thing to do...
