This week was our annual Green Issue, that comes out on Earth Day, and just as any “special issue,” it can be quite a handful. So for this cover, instead of going with the usual cheesy “green” stock art (windmills, solar panels, plants in people’s hands, light bulbs with leaves, etc.), I thought this could be a great opportunity to flex the “illustrative muscle” and attempt something contemporary and original. I illustrated “Mr. Earth” completely in Adobe Illustrator and Indesign and without a pen tablet (all mouse). The idea was to play with simple shapes, clean lines and colors with a bit of texture to some of the shapes as if it were all cutout of construction paper, similar to what you’ve seen on South Park. Overall, I’m really happy with it, and I think it’s definitely a fun and playful cover that should do well to move papers. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did making it. Cheers!
