This is an improvised painting, its drawing was inspired by a doodle on the cover of You Deserve Nothing, a 2011 novel by the American writer Alexander Maksik.

UPDATE : Take a look at the step-by-step creation of You dirty rat deserve nothing (the new title!), along with an other improvised drawing, and an other story, created from the same doodle…
