In discussing this painting the artist writes, “Since the middle 1980s I have occasionally done paintings inspired by the old pulp Western magazine front cover illustrations. In my opinion, the best illustrations on these magazines were from about 1920 to 1950. This painting titled Desperado was a take off of the June 1926 issues of Western Story Magazine, also stating on the front cover, ‘Big, Clean Stories of Outdoor Life.’ Desperado appears to be having difficulty in achieving a clean outdoor life.”
