The best way to get work is to leave town. And the afternoon before I left for Spider-Man Weekend, 
I got an e-mail from the Fort Worth Weekly, one of my favorite clients. They needed a cover talking about shark-like lawyers in the public school system.
Later that night I was telling my Dad about it. "What are you going to do?" he asked. "Well," I said, "I sent them the rough half an hour ago…"
After I got back into town, I had to take it from rough to finished. It's actually a pretty standard turnaround time for newspaper-based work. Besides, I worked at a newspaper for four years in my early days, I'm used to the pace. So I hunkered down and got to work.
The story runs today and you can see the final cover at their site. I'm posting the roughs and inks, and the final without type, too.
