When you wake up in the morning and the light is hurt your head
The first thing you do when you get up out of bed
Is hit that streets a-runnin' and try to beat the masses
And go get yourself some pink sunglasses
Talent knows talent! Offbeat artwork of the 80's were a big part of the subversive nature of the time. You can see more of the anxiety and uncertainty in this version where the shadows under the eye tell you more about her beleaguered state of mind. Never touch a downed power line that could be live.
Wow. Incredible, jaw dropping pick up Chuck! Congratulations! I could stare at this piece for hours. Kevin packs so much story in her expression and the absolutely masterful technique on display make this a showstopper in any collection.
The layering of paint and colored pencils done here is so nice for a mixed media cover! Best cover for a mediocre comic should be a new category in the CAF awards every year, you can have the first award! :) - damn those pink sunglasses sorta ruined it though, but the original is superb. congrats!
Best cover for a mediocre comic would have thousands of entries a year, most comics, like most artforms, being of that nature. This cover would be a strong contender of quality disguising mediocrity within. I barely remember the comic.
I agree, sans glasses is best. Glad the original survived and congrats on adding to your collection!
Wow! This painting just screams Kevin Nowlan! The look on her face, the awkward pose, the wide eyes, all say Kevin Nowlan to me. Love Kevin's lighting here and the colors are beautiful. Stunning pick-up, congrats!
