Latest for The Week Magazine. The challenge was to make a visually boring idea more cover worthy. I tried to channel Jack Davis a little and give each person a little more personality.

Another one from The Week. A similar challenge with the crowd. This is my version. The final had some changes. The fellow in the front is very loosely based on my brother-in-law. I didn’t have a picture in front of me, or for anyone except the statue. The curious thing is after I stopped and the dust cleared the faces in the crowd started looking like famous people I’ve seen. Which makes sense I guess. Johnny Damon, John Goodman, David Koechner, to name a few. The rest are a stretch.

The Week. I like this one.
