As many of you who know, I’ve been very, very busy the last six weeks or so, which has just been great!
The project that kicked off this lastest series of uninterrupted projects was this cover art I got to do for the Deal Magazine in February. It was for a feature about the deals of 2007 which turned out to be quite a carnival of transactions.
My good associate, Larry Gendron, who art directed this project is always faithful in providing a general concept and letting me run with it. Art Directors like that really get the best out of artists like me when they offer such creative freedom. It really allows me to think in terms of what we can do vs. what we can’t do, which in turn allows the imagination to creep past unknown boundaries and come up with something special.
Be sure to click the image above to see the zoomed artwork. You’ll note it’s a wide format and has more elements than appears on the cover above as they used it inside the magazine to accompany the feature. You also might notice that the look of this artwork has a bit more of a natural, less polished look than usual, which was on purpose and a bit outside the box for me but served the concept just great. Click on the cat to the right to see a close-up of the gritty details.
