NY Observer cover Full Court Press!

This week's cover for the NY Observer.




This was another two day turnaround. Starting Monday morning, final due end of the day, Tuesday. I spent half of Monday sketching and then spent the rest of my time painting as quickly as I could. I really enjoyed working on the character's of these two guys, especially Dominique Strauss-Kahn.



Detail of Kenneth Thompson's face. I wanted to share these close ups to show how loose and sketchy I worked.



Detail of DSK.
