Willamette Week Cover

Whoa, dang, it’s my first cover! I was commissioned to illustrate the cover and hand-letter the headline for this week’s issue of Willamette Week, one of Portland’s free weekly papers. It’s so exciting to see my work staring out from newspaper boxes around the city!
The article it illustrates is about Wieden + Kennedy, an international ad agency based in Portland, launching a new idea, Wieden + Kennedy Entertainment, in which they create entertainment content first and look for ways to make it worth their time and money afterward. The WKE team is currently headed up by Aaron Rose, the man who put together Beautiful Losers. That’s Aaron on the cover, illustrated as a 1950’s pitch-man, which is actually pretty easy because he wears a hat like that all the time, seriously.

I can only exclaim: AWESOME!
I’d love it if you sent me a copy of your cover.
