Description Front Cover Section of a four part gatefold illustration I did for the cover of Solipsistic Pop 2 [link]

I will have a four page comic in it as well. It's cram packed with work from loads of talented UK comics people so keep an eye out for it's release.

I'll upload the full spread of this at a later date because it's much more impressive than the cover alone.

I just cant stop stearing and digging all
those levels of this picture, which is
actualy amazing. I just love this landscapes
appearing one from another, and the mood
of whole piece. It could be also great
cover for some vinyl record. Cult and classic.

Thanks very much man! Watch out for when I post the whole thing, because it's kind of the same but 4 times as big. Glad you like it.

Not yet, I think it's getting printed some time this month. Yeah, my artwork covers the front, back and inside folds. I'm hoping it'll look pretty cool.

Will it only be available in the UK? Or do you not know?

MumblingIdiot In reply to Hannakin [2010-04-09 12:56:48 +0000 UTC]

Thanks!
It's a fairly small press affair, though done to a professional quality, so it won't be physically available in many places outside of the UK I don't think. You can always get it shipped over though, unless it's crazy expensive.

Great piece, Luke!! You deserve a place in any anthology.

(in colors, that's what I call a Chris Ware combo)

Thanks man!

I fretted a lot about this looking too Chris Ware-esque. I actually tried to not use these colours but I couldn't get away from the fact that they looked best.

mrdynamite [2010-04-07 22:54:59 +0000 UTC]

you know you're way better than chris ware. There's a simplicity in your work that makes it so much more appealing to me. Not convoluted bullshit like some of Ware's work.

I'm aware that he's a genius and I own alot of his stuff but most of it is overly detailed, depressing and fucking unreadable. Unlike your stuff which always works <|:^)>

Wow, thanks man. I'm flattered though I don't entirely agree, being obviously quite a big fan. I know what you mean about it being depressing and hard to read though.

Just awesome. Reminds me of Chris Ware, who as we all know, is a genius. So well bloody done

MumblingIdiot In reply to Fievel-the-Mouse [2010-04-10 09:49:49 +0000 UTC]

Thanks a lot! It's a bit too easy to get the same vibe though. Limited colour and geometric shapes pretty much does it.

Well sure, but this ain't no carbon copy of his style, has its own feel and well it's good don't be down on it! I love the colours you chose.
