Watch that last step,

it's a doozy. Above is the recent cover image I did for the Indypendent. The main focus of the articles regard a disillusionment of the Obama administration. One of the editors suggested a play on a past image that had Obama walking on water. It seemed like a clear message, the failure to deliver on the Messianic image of the campaign, but I wanted to give them a few other options.

In the end, they went with the 3rd sketch but suggested a more obvious connection to Jesus with the robes and more obvious fumble than the slow sinking I suggested in the sketch. I liked the dynamic approach, and the chance to take on a likeness was generally new to me- the 1 day turn around kept it exciting as well. I'm looking forward to seeing the piece in print with type. Enjoy.
