Original art by Daniel Clowes for a page in Eightball #20, along with the finished image. The original art was posted earlier but not the tone/shading overlay, I’d never seen that before. Both pieces of original art come from kochcomicart.com, which I believe had them for sale for $5,300 for at least a year and they seem to have sold only recently, within the last month.

The explanation, from that site: “At the San Diego Comic-Con in 2000, I started a new themed sketchbook, called “Canned”. A week before the convention, I found a rubber stamp of a jar at a craft store, and had an idea. I would stamp the jar onto each page of a small, bound sketchbook and ask artists to draw something in the jar. I think you’ll find the results quite fun!”
