My second cover by the incredible Tradd Moore and what a cover!

Despite is small output so far, Tradd is already in a class of his own and all of his covers (art) are exceptional but I believe this one is on the top of his production in terms of quality.

The art is as always immaculately clean (even though less than my other Tradd cover I’d say, not that it is an issue, just for comparison’s sake) but that’s far from the end of it.

The pose of the character is fantastic. Perfectly on spot with a ferocious rendition of Venom, full of over the top muscles, a nassssty grin and an over long tongue.

The low camera angle chosen by Tradd works perfectly. Then the perspective is really impressive. The composition plays on that perspective element with the 2 buildings for one and for second with the vertigo effect created by the various webbing lines that ricochets all over the piece, especially the circular ones on top of the page. Simply mesmerizing. Then let’s not forget the millions saliva drops.

The fact that it‘s a full bleed piece really makes it even more impressive. It looks like it’s gigantic.

For once I would also like to comment positively on the coloring which really suits the piece and makes it pop.

With two covers by Tradd Moore on my two fav’ characters, I’m a super happy collector even though it certainly won’t be my last addition to the collection from Tradd Moore.
This is was one of my biggest purchase of 2016 (and ever actually) so many thanks to Felix for working with me on this one.

This is (the last) part 10 of my CAF birthday party. Happy birthday to me. Hope you enjoyed it.

Way to close the birthday art celebration out, man! This is an unbelievably dynamic piece! Hard to think Tradd’s work isn’t digital at times with how clean and precise his lines are! A perfect character for his style! Congrats!

The moment I saw this cover, I wanted it so freaking bad! I love Tradd's work, he is my top modern artist. Everything you describe about the piece is spot on! Congratulations on the addition of this pure gem of a piece to an already incredible collection!

This is such a great example of Tradd's mastery of black and white art!

Either he did a very similar image, or they made this into a t-shirt without the background. Very cool.
