Down in a Hole

The Fort Worth Weekly is one of my frequent and favorite clients. They sent up the Thom Signal for me to do a cover for them. It's Yet Another Crane Cover, as the development of Ft. Worth's end of the Metroplex is a big story out there. Most of the cover was their suggestion, I just changed the angle to make it a more interesting downshot.

For those of you process junkies, the cover was sketched by hand and then taken into Illustrator, where I build the crane and the buildings. I inked the hole and debris by hand, composited it in Photoshop, and three hours and one venti mocha later, lo and behold, there was a cover.

And speaking of the DFW Metroplex, I've been to Dallas a few times, Fort Worth a few fewer, and in my experience, this recent survey saying Dallas-Fort Worth has the nation's second most unattractive citizens. Clearly, those people have never been to a Rangers game or downtown. Hot-itute abounds there. I got your back, DFW.
