The collector in me wanted to buy up every out-of-print book that contains Willard Mullin's unbelievably dynamic drawings, but I wised up and whipped out the ol' library card instead!

Each of the images below links to a GIANT high-res image
of scans from "It Beats Working," a book illustrated by

Willard Mullin!
