Yeah you have the French's style hotdog mustard on the outside, and some Dijon on the inside. I would love to scape a big beer battered shrimp across this.
Ever heard of Heinrich Kley, Ralph Steadman, Philip Burke (he's got some nice pen & ink work, though he's more known for painterly style), Gerald Scarfe, Bill Plympton, Edward Sorel, Bill Plympton, David Annesley, all illustrators who work in pen & ink with a sketchy style (I'm sure there are many more).
Hess wasn't the first illustrator to use a sketchy style.
Check out Leonard Baskin!
As I was researching my response I ran across this www.vaultsoftime.com/vaults14/contempo7/ it's a Baskin print, a 7 foot woodcut from 1954. Check it out!
Just found another : www.wfu.edu/Academic-departments/Art/pc/pc-baskin-icarus.jpg
My point if I have one is that there's other inspiration out there.
The only way one can develop a style is by drawing. Just draw, draw, eat, draw, eat, draw, sleep,draw, eat, draw, and don't forget to take potty breaks.
Eventually you'll come up with your own style or mimic someone else's so good that you'll cash in!!!
