Original artwork description:

An original hand-drawn surrealistic art drawing inspired by the slogan 'Kilroy was here'. An American symbol that became popular during World War II, typically seen in graffiti. Its origin is debated, but the phrase and the distinctive accompanying doodle became associated with GIs in the 1940s: a bald-headed man (sometimes depicted as having a few hairs) with a prominent nose peeking over a wall with his fingers clutching the wall.


The artwork was created with Ink pen and acrylic on paper by artist Spencer J. Derry, signed and dated in 2020 and is unframed.

Materials used:

Acrylic & pen
