Artist's Comments

This cover was inspired by some shitty movie poster about killer crocs. I can't remember what the name of it was ( and I'm sure it'll be about 2 seconds before you guys are on it and start busting my balls about it, so thanks for nothing in advance, haha.) But I digress, anyway I thought the croc mouth as a graphic would go nicely with my design sense. The movie poster in question just had a 3D illustration of the croc in the same position.

This was done by masking off the lettering (which bleed a lot and fixed in Photoshop) and liquid masking fluid on the croc which worked well. Then hitting it with a huge brush and liquid acrylic. Finished up with gouache.

Basically, this took about a day from concept to final.

Wow.

That is a gorgeously bad ass cover.

So much artsy fartsy mixed with ass kicking that it is amazing.

Also..AWESOME WHITE LOLLIGATOR! I had a friend who called them that...Lolligators. I'm not sure why, but whenever I make exclamations about them, I like to say LOLLIGATOR!

I love that you do traditionally what others do digitally. Pretty effin sweet!
It's like the classic days when the painter was the designer as well as the letterer; Mucha, Klimt, etc..
Bad ass!

Fezzik: Why do you wear a mask? Were you burned by acid, or something like that?
Man in Black: Oh no, it's just that they're terribly comfortable. I think everyone will be wearing them in the future.

Awesome. I love the long tooth leading into the type. I would've thought the croc and the text were all done in photoshop or illustrator.

Feels like Mitchell Hooks, one of my fav illustrators. I dig it.

Not crazy about the punisher skulltooth connecting to the "l", seems like a last minute thought. But whatever right? :)
