Illustration Throwback Thursday #70- GQ!

Here’s a full page and two spot illustrations I did for GQ magazine back in 2016. It was a story about famous “brothers” both fictional and real life. Above was the full pager with The Manning and Affleck brothers plus the three actors who played the fictional brothers in the TV “Empire”. Below are spots with the Gronkowski brothers and the Koch brothers.

These illustrations were actually never used. I was told GQ had a couple of illustrators do different takes on the art and then they decided to go with photos instead. I got paid full rate rather than a kill fee, however.
