The Sky's the Limit

As part of my New Year's Resolution to blog more, here's a The sky… it's full of sky!little more behind the scenes stuff on Love and Capes. I was working on the cover of the fourth collection and needed a sky. I'd thoughtabout sunset, but given the impending birth, I wanted something more of the sunrise variety. But how to capture it. I'd browsed through Google Image Search for some inspiration.

But one morning I got up early to go to Panera before starting to work and I saw Buy it! BUY IT!this, which I captured with my iPhone's camera. Yeah, you might not think the sprawling vista of a strip mall is the most exciting thing, but that sky was exactly what I was looking for, and the inspiration for the sky on the cover.

By the way, if you haven't already ordered it from your local comic shop, the fourth trade is available from Amazon.
