Isaac Hayes RIP


Yesterday was a strange day. I got my weekly assignment for Philadelphia Weekly and it was to draw Isaac Hayes. It was for the Stax Records Anniversary celebration that Hayes was supposed to host. (The logo for Stax Records is snapping fingers just in case you didn't know why I drew him in this pose) Anyway, I come home yesterday ready to color in the drawing I did in the morning to find that Hayes had passed away sometime during the day yesterday. I wasn't sure if they were still going to use the illo but it turned into a memorial column for Hayes so the illustration still worked.
