Another set of recent comp rejects.

Cover of mine was featured in a Salon article on Susie Bright and her Daughter’s new book.
These are the first poster comps my basement screenprinting side business did for local non-profit Tree Pittsburgh. I’m still up in the air for a name for this thing.
Dr. Terror’s House of Horrors. Maybe that’s what I should call my new basement screenprinting studio with its plastic-lined walls and basement shower for easy clean up, I spilled some emulsion on the floor last week and it looks like I’ve been chopping up bodies down there. Still can’t decided on a name for this thing.
A couple of preliminary comps for this project. Still working on alternative cover with the client.
This book stalled out some time last year and I recently found
out the project was cancelled for whatever reason. I meant to
post this with a final cover but I always thought this comp
was pretty tight as it was.
Couple of comps that didn’t make it, though I like the illustration I did on the one on the right.
New cover for a romance novel from an author out of the UK. I’m
particularly pleased with this, I’ve needed to make something
beautiful for quite some time.
Departments were designed on a modular concept, so you basically just plugged artwork into them, though it was fun hiring people out off the NYT’s op-ed page and book review section. I got some great local and national talent to do great things from me. I didn’t work on a magazine for almost five years until Pittsburgh Magazine called in 2011, wanting me to be their new AD. This is a rather fascinating story I’ll go into detail later on a future post.
Occasionally I’d get a one page opener for a feature. My riff for the travel article on the old Steve McQueen/Ali MacGraw film elicited a few blank expressions.
