I had been wondering what it would look like. I like it a lot.

Definitely like it. Especially the guitars. You see the trumpets and stuff all the time but guitars can be blues music themed too. Plus looks more badass haha.

This is the closest picture I can find. The musical notes/trumpets on Cujo's are musical notes/guitars on Miller's.

I love the way 'Saint Louis Blues' is spelled out on the front and then I found this and I like it even more:

Miller plays the guitar...and played in a band back in the day. So that is the reference.

That's going to look amazing propped up on top of his head as he goes through the losing handshake line.

Love it. Artist did a great job.

I was expecting a more obvious tribute to Cujo's mask. I know Miller said it was going to be subtle...but if you didn't tell me, I wouldn't see it.

A couple guitars are in the same place as the trumpets... the notes on paper are in the same spot, but look absolutely nothing alike.
The chin is 100% different.
The top & forehead are completely different.
The background is completely different.
The styles are completely different. Cujo's was more 2D and with flat color tones, Miller's is very modern and has quite a bit of shading, depth and layers.

But I like it...it looks cool.
