The second image, nominated for a gold medal in the Best Cover Illustration category, appeared on the cover of the SF Weekly. A heartfelt thanks goes to Art Director Andrew Nilson for giving me such a rich topic to work with.  I've been contributing to various Village Voice Media papers first as an AD, and then as an illustrator for the past 19 years.  It was at their paper, the Phoenix New Times, that I took what I thought would be a temporary job.  Little did I know that the editorial hook had been set so deeply in me. I congratulate all of the nominees and wish them the best.  For me, simply being nominated by SPD is an award in itself.  I hope to see you all at the event!

Initially the client was leaning toards the sketch of the woman with the pyramid hair and tears becuase of it's more obvoius emotional quality, but in the end the sketch of the quenn with the gown doubling as a pyramid was chosen for it's iconic strength. I went ahead towards a final producing the version below with the soldiers and a black background but after reviewing it we all agreed that it might be more dramatic without the chariots and with a cobalt blue sky.



A big thanks, again to Doug Tuck and Annie Mack.  Working with both of you was such a comfortable and natural process.  I'm truly sorry to see the project end.
