Cover me, shut the door and cover me
Comic Foundry is relaunching on April 3 as a monthly webzine chock-full of comics interviews, reviews and the like.For the debut edition, I'll be contributing a lengthy Q&A with illustrator James Jean focusing on -- you guessed it -- his Eisner and Harvey award-winning cover work on books like Fables, Green Arrow and Batgirl.
In the interview, Jean discusses process, cover philosophy and the evolution of the Fables "look," among other things. Interesting stuff, if I do say so myself.
If that goes over well, the plan (I think) is for me to contribute regular pieces on cover artists and designers. We'll see.
The accompanying image is a discarded sketch for the cover of Fables #49.
Cool beans! Congratulations on the gig!

Any chance you would want to host some kind of cover-illustration draw off activity? I think you have some great ideas on direction(s) and suggestions.

Grrr. I hate that these comments tell me what time a comment was left, but not what day, so I have no idea how old your comment is, Scott.
Anyway ... Hm. I wonder if some sort of draw-off would interest many people? I like the idea.
