Thanks, Joe


Coming soon to Foreword: three, perhaps four new covers for David Foster Wallace’s Consider the Lobster, courtesy of some guy from Hustler, WI. (Okay, perhaps that’s not the best reference for the quality of his work…;)

One word: fantastic.

In the meantime, enjoy this beautiful, beautiful cover:

…and go over and get the great context Joe’s put it in. Nicely done. (Check out the American Purgatorio cover, too — lovely.)

Thanks, Giles. The Lobster covers are just portfolio pieces, but as such I would love to get as much feedback on them as I can. And once I’m done with them I can work on the “Fingerville, SC” shirt. :-)

I don’t get it.

what is this? green rocky horror lips?

I don’t care for either one, frankly.

The illustrated one could have been MUCH better (in color, execution, etc.,), and the one with the two photos and bellyband is just blah.
