Ross Bat 1977

 

From a 1977 Ross mailing. 

At the time I thought it was drawn by Joyce in Oregon but now I'm not so sure. 

Joyce spent a lot of time on a detailed b&w 'Sad Indian' drawing, even had it printed on greeting cards. Joyce visited me in El Paso, Texas, summer 1977. She was concerned about the fluorescent light illuminating my drawing board. 

 A photo of Joyce sitting on a rock in the forest provided much comfort to Ross when he was living in in the Phi Delta Theta fraternity house, 5625 S. University Ave. On Saturday night oceans of beer flooded the main stairs leaving a sticky and smelly residue to greet Sunday morning visitors.
