This is the basis for a cover for longtime friend of the blog, writer par-excellence and honorary Mick-head Dave Hendrick's new book,
Short Sharp Shlock. It's an anthology book featuring 3 stories all written by Dave, and illustrated by 3 great artists, including
other friend of the blog(we have 2 friends! they're both called Dave!), and painter extraordinaire, Dave O'Sullivan.
So I illustrated the main image, and a few of the other Micks(Thompson, Dec and Will) are pitching in with the smaller images that will slot into them there boxes on the left and feature characters from the three stories within. I'm hoping they'll hop on the bandwagon tomorrow, wednesday and thursday with their respective images(right guys?). There's also a good chance that Ășber-colourist Jordie Bellaire(of stepping out with Dec Shalvey fame, for her sins) will throw a few hues on this bad-boy too. Should look pretty sweet. (Please ignore my crappy temp-lettering, the guys will be providing the good stuff.)
It was a fun, quick little experiment teaming up on the cover, and hopefully will yield some interesting results. As far as I know Dave is debuting the book at the upcoming Heroes con in Charlotte next month, but don't quote me on that.
