Cover for the Dayton City Paper

DaytonCityPaperCover

So the alternative newsweekly in my hometown of Dayton Ohio has graciously done a cover story about me for this week. They also commissioned me to draw the cover. So we decided to go with a photo/illustration montage. They took a photo of me, sent it to me, I printed it out and then drew over it on transparent paper, then I manipulated in Photoshop in order to superimpose it over the original photo. Basically. There’s more to it than that, but that’s the basic stuff.

  • Was hoping it was from scratch, cuz that’s a pretty good drawing.

  • Its a neat cover, I like the effect. Was it intentional that the original and underlying picture looks a lot happier then how you drew yourself? Either way it certainly goes with the title.
