For this series of covers Andy Wood and Paul PMZ decided that it would be fun if I could draw four colour pictures with a hidden Tarquin in each one. Tarquin is of course dressed in Wally style stripes, as tradition dictates.
Also Andy and Paul came up with a list of people from music and beyond, and I had to draw every one, as well as adding some of my own. I'm not really a caricaturist, so some of the likenesses are a bit... er... dodgy. Anyway, as well as searching for Tarquin there are plenty more things to look out for in each picture.
