Draw… a purse. And, of course, the dapper Lee Van Cleef (the Good) brought a red handbag to the gunfight in my imaginary remake. Playing with words and images today, perhaps because I didn’t feel like drawing. @ds106dc #tdc3044 @eng304cripps #gunfights pic.twitter.com/YdaMWmpBD1

This was pretty fun, though it took more than my budgeted 20 minutes this morning. Initially, I was imagining a GIF where a gunslinger draws a handbag from his (almost always his, with a couple important exceptions) holster. But the output lost lots of the color, and I didn’t want to dig too deeply into the project.
Here’s a GIF version:
I think the horse in the background is hilarious! It’s the kind of thing I could have easily edited out but didn’t.
I created both of these in Photoshop, though I did use GIF Red to quickly trim a Youtube clip and grab a GIF that I could further trim and modify. (I’m not sure why, but I’ve really come to like GIF Red in recent weeks. The trimming and rendering tools are not the most elegant or intuitive, but the do work. Also, the text tool is quite limited. But there’s no watermark.
