All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others... Plus I like how you did Napoleon`s fat

Just Finished reading.
Loved it, so I looked up some pictures.. This is awesome.
Dig the rough pen style, reminds me a bit of Steadmans work.

Very creepy, it certainly reflects Stalin, uh- Napoleon's evil.

Looks like a Steadman inspired one.

Hehehehe. Sure it is. That's why I state: "Another do it yourself cover to an actual printed book. "
Penguin make blank covered books.
Flattered you think it's Steadman though!

I'm afraid I've never heard of you before, but viewing this picture without knowing your collection I have to say it's an excellent piece. It really captures the ironic and ominous feel of Animal Farm even if you haven't read Orwell. For those of us that have, we obviously get the reference to the pig in the suit. Very nicely done, good color compisition despite the mostly monotone feel.

Thanks for posting so much here on DA. I've been watching your progress on flickr for a long time, but this makes it much easier. Keep up the great work!

Will probably keep the bulk of my art postings on flickr though...since it works for my blog and it's so damn fiddly to post art here! Will just give a taste of a bunch of stuff in my deviant gallery I guess.

Naturally, and you tend to post a lot of pictures especially processes, and that would be very difficult on here. I understand, it's just nice to be able to view them on here. Just watched your video on the new series. Sounds fantastic!
