New Snapshot: The Newman Money Museum Robo-Franklin

I have a new illustration up over at the Beacon! This time I illustrated something that relates directly back to my own past as a student employee at the Kemper Art Museum. In the basement of the Museum is the Newman Money Museum. Inside this tiny museum in a museum is an amazing "animatronic" Ben Franklin that talks to you when you enter. The robot has been turned on for years, and as a result the face (which is a projection on a bulb) has the coloring of a warped tv. It's a delightful little gem if you ever get a chance to visit St. Louis.
