Shamus Cleveland: Cochise from the "The Warriors".

Recent illustration of "Cochise" from my favorite movie "The Warriors". I actually got it signed by the real actor (David Harris) which was pretty sweet. He was a really cool guy too. (Pen & Ink, watercolor, and PrismaColor markers on illustration board)
