Explore Cover

I recently had the opportunity to do some lettering for the cover of Explore Magazine.

Inspired by the very talented Peter Strain, there are obviously some janky parts, but the art-direction called for "raw" and "discernibly hand-rendered". With very little thumb-nailing, I sat down and knocked the whole piece out in one-take and tried to embrace the flaws and errors (don't look for them).

Process shot in the attachment.
