Illustration Thurowback: Gutters #3 Cover!

Back in 2012 writer and entrepreneur Ryan Sohmer hired me to do the cover illustration for the third Omnibus collection of his feature Gutters. Gutters was a webcomic that spoofed the comics industry and characters therein. The art for each page was done by a different artist, while Ryan did the writing. It was damn funny stuff. Gutters ran from 2010-2014. Ryan’s company Blind Ferret collected the comic in three huge, hardcover volumes. Each cover spoofed some famous picture or painting. Ryan wanted mine to parody the “V-J Day in Times Square”. I did the pencils/inks and it was wonderfully colored by Ed Ryzowski. I remember I had a ton of fun doing this. What you see above is not the full image… it was a partial wraparound cover. I don’t have a color version of the full final, but here are the pencils and inks of the entire image:
