I’ve been working on an awesome project for Outside Magazine the last couple of weeks.
The assignment was about different ways in which people have lost their lives in our National Parks over the years.
I worked closely with the art director and the editors to make the pieces upbeat in order to contrast dark subject-matter.
The art director I worked with had a “comic” theme in mind for the pieces, which immediately made me think of the old EC Comics stuff from the 50’s like Tales from the Crypt.
These three images are from the first story which will print on three separate spreads. Two more single-page stories will run when the article comes out as well. I’ll keep you posted when the issue is on newsstands.
Speaking of which, the 6 pieces I did for Esquire a couple of months ago have finally hit the stands. If you get a chance, pick up the magazine–they really look fantastic thanks to the designers totally kicking ass on it.
thanks!
Frank
