The Lesson of the Master

Love and Rockets is celebrating its 30th anniversary this weekend at the San Diego Comic Con. I had been meaning to tackle one of Jamie Hernandez’s covers for awhile now, and given the occasion I thought tonight would be a fine time to jump right into it. This was definitely nerve-racking… He really is the best.

I’ll post again when the final of this runs, most likely on the Covered blog (or failing that, it can join this fellow attempt on the Rejected by Covered blog! Good company!). I don’t usually post my Covered submissions before they run there, but I thought this little preview would be fine… It’s not everyday that my favorite comic turns 30!

I will be working on a long-term academic project regarding Jaime Hernandez and his work on Locas in the coming year… Stay tuned for updates on that, too.
