Art like this reminds me why I really love Erol Otus' work. It's iconic, graphic, and I've always loved the colorful and cartoonlike approach to his fantasy art.
Pure, quintessential of a lot of 1970s and early 1980s fantasy art. (Scanned from the “Days of the Dragon” calendar for 1982.)
Allow me to introduce Carl. There is always a Carl. This Carl decided to jump off the workbench and highdive onto the concrete floor...(no, Carl, it wasn't a Cee-Mint pond. Shut up now Carl)...Carl needs a lot of jb weld and glue now.
