Description I just became the new cover artist on Unknown Soldier starting with issue 7. Here's the first result. After including the titles on the Punisher covers I realized how much I liked the integration of type into the design. It will be interesting to see where that takes me.

man great cover! I really love the fact that your covers incorporate (text) ie the title, and not just a glory shot of the character. You have a tremendous sense of color as well as design rock on man!

The layouts...the titles...the bizness.
Simply awesome. I foresee this technique popping up in the next Sin City movie...or at the very least some cool commercial!

natebarnes [2008-12-30 18:59:12 +0000 UTC]

we need more interesting covers like this (and not just in comics). i like this approach in your work. I always thought Will Eisner's incorporation of lettering into the art was the coolest part of his work - and this aspect of your work feels like that.

your covers are startig to have their own style, they all look like you (maybe not such a great idea). Your making great layouts with this type/drawing technique.

the way you're incorporating these titles/logos into your work is great. it reminds me of the old horror and suspense films of the late 40's and into the 50's.

I feel like I need to retire this layout. I have done stuff like this before. Not exactly, but the overall feel. Don't want to get too popular by doing the same stuff over and over like other artists. haha
