Sexy Femme Fatale by Jacob Phillips

Back in May this year, I had unfortunately just missed one of the five slots Jacob Phillips opened up on his website. I regretted for quite some time, though, luckily, two weeks ago, I was a bit faster.

Since I loved Jacob's colouring on "Criminal", but also his work on "That Texas Blood", I knew I wanted a crime noir piece. A few weeks ago, I asked his father Sean Phillips (Criminal and a lot of Ed Brubaker collaborations, but you all know that) a similar piece. This other beauty you can also see in my gallery.

For Jacob, I made it a bit more specific and asked him to do an hommage to a "Criminal" piece his father did. I've attached the Sean piece.

I adore what Jacob did and how he interpreted this. I especially love the perspective - the beholder knows that she's not just a damsel in distress, but she is holding a gun behind her gun and ready to strike. Size is A3 (roughly 11x17).
