After Doug's first comics-cartoon convention in June 2007 in San Diego, California, he decided to add 11 x 17 limited edition prints (numbered 1 through 25 or 1 through 50) to his convention inventory of Playboy cartoon originals, preliminary pencil and color roughs and personalized copies of Unpublished Sneyd.
His first print - from an 11 x 17 original rendered on Arches of France cold press art board using aniline dyes - featured a blond in lingerie drinking a martini.
(Please note, however, how the hand-drawn preliminary pencil and color roughs differ from the final art.)
