First time I ever noticed that skill was when I saw Al Williamson when he was doing Star Wars. But for some reason, your style just took it to a new level.

That cow is great, and so is the manure circle!
Beautiful stuff, and your lettering reminds me so much of another great letterer/artist, Wally Wood. But yours is steadier.
