Lucky Dewey




Finally done! lots of work, it took about 10 hours to get this painting done, but it was worth it. My first real digital painting. :D if anyone wants a print, let me know.
*****
I called it Lucky Dewey because it's actually based on the death of a well known mobster, Dutch Shultz. He was a mob boss back in the days of the prohibition and got screwed over by a politician named Dewey something or other. Shultz blew up and announced (despite the unhappiness of the roundtable) a hit on the politician. Lucky Luciano, not wanting to draw unecessary attention to his crime syndicate, took out Shultz before he could kill Dewey.
