Behind the Scenes With Cartoonist Doug Sneyd

You’ve seen his beautifully rendered watercolor cartoons grace the pages of Playboy for more than 40 years, but have you ever wondered how they got there? What about the cartoons that don’t make it into the magazine?

Doug Sneyd’s new book Unpublished Sneyd offers a glimpse into this process along with more than 90 sketches of unpublished cartoons.
