Today's delve back into my past takes us to 1958, when I was scratching out stuff to try impressing the editor of the West Australian newspaper that I should be added to their art department to supply cartoons/illustrations... which were not a feature of the morning daily historically. Frank Sinatra and  Alec Guinness must've been prominent among film fans at the time.

I do believe these were among the very first graphics I ever attempted to employ coloured wash to enhance(?) basically B & W illustrations. These are +/-25% reduced from their original sizes. Sadly, the Sinatra piece in particular seems to have been attacked by silver-fish whilst lying in my archives for half a century plus!
