Incorporating Some Illustrations

Here is a poster design that I just "finished".  Though it would be safe to incorporate Leonardo's quote, that art is never finished, it is simply abandoned.  I'm not happy with this piece at all, and I'm not sure if that is because I am so sick of it, or if it really is as horrid as I think it is!
But it's done.  A true event, and a drawing that I put into the computer after doing it in chalk pastels (borrowed from the lovely Beej—aka, best bud of art department).  The illustration is inspired from Bob Ziering and some of his pen work.
Really struggling with the placement of the date—will hopefully find a new solution soon, but for right now, I'm done!

Thoughts?
