Cozy Lummox: Pigs, Pimps and Prostitutes

JPT • COVERS
by sbrothier
This is an attempt to create cover art for every great magazine I own (+ a few I wish I owned). It's never a straight crib, the source magazines are a jumping-off point for my imagination...
... and covering covers is a theme that lets me combine some of my favourite things; portraiture, typography, pencils and graphic design.
The occasional photos illustrate my current process: I draw A3 & A4 sections which I sometimes collage or retouch in Photoshop.
The COVERS typeface is Akka (a nod to Carlo Scarpa) redrawn by hand, of course.
