Soooooo, i recently did the Cover of "The Village Voice". The Cover is about Bradley Tusk, the man behind NY's Mayor Bloomberg.

Hes apparently very shady and has had a hand in some crooked deals. The AD (who was wonderful) didnt want a portrait of Tusk, as he's not very well known - but rather have him sort of hiding behind Bloombergs image. She had an interesting idea to have Bloombergs face on a sort of masquerade mask that Tusk was sort of peering out behind. I liked the idea of doing a portrait, and also liked the freedom I received with the drawing. Im in the process of slowly "updating" my style, relying less on lines, and more on shapes - this offered a neat opportunity to pursue that a bit. The RGB jpegs look a bit "grey", but the cmyk verson has a nice contrast and saturation. Anyway, heres the final and a small detail. such a wonderful opportunity.
Im so excited to have done this.
More soon.
Pete
