For this piece, my main concern was just making a recognizable Geist. He wound up looking exactly like Christopher Walken instead, but I'll lie and claim that was intentional. I used a charcoal pencil on drafting paper, and that's an actual sticker for the T-shirt on his chest. I was trying to hint at some of the more heavy-duty stuff that Justin plans to address with the character, but the Beetlejuice quote seemed like a natural fit for Geist's personality.

Geist by Jesse T.
Hey gang, my name's Jesse, and I'm an editor with Maxim.com. First off, I must apologize to everyone reading, as I am by far the worst excuse for an artist you're gonna find on this blog. (Seriously, I haven't even attempted a doodle in 5-6 years.) But I'm obviously in very good company and am honored to share the LAW stage. And taking a stab at a drawering was actually a lot of fun.

Cool, JT.
"THE ICE... IS GONNA BREAK!"
Nice shirt! I'm hearing Kenan Thompson's "Kenan and Kel" character screaming "Whyyyyyyy????"
