Jade by Michael McDaniel

Introducing Jennie-Lynn Hayden, the latest covergirl for SI’s annual swimsuit edition. (That’s Superheroes Illustrated, of course!) The official line from DC Comics is that Jade’s CV includes time spent in the Fashion Industry, both in front of and behind the cameras, so the pose makes perfect sense.



I’d just received my earlier commission from Michael when he emailed me samples of his colour work. We had been echatting about media and technique; and admiring the images he had sent, the idea of seeing Jade in colour began percolating in my mind until finally, I acquiesced. I couldn’t be happier with the result!
