Cherry Ice Cream Smile

Vampirella flyerSo, out of the blue, my old friend Joey Nova asks me to draw some artwork for Shazam! — a new monthly party he’s throwing in NYC. If you haven’t guessed, its a superhero themed party.  The launch will be this Halloween and it’ll have burlesque dancers, a costume contest, and general mayhem.  Sounds good and trashy!  Joey wanted images of comic characters dancing, but I talked him into a series of 80′s record cover remixes to really push the music angle. I love the original Patrick Nagel illo, and I must admit it was nerve wracking to draw this thing.  Nagel’s design and line were so precise and just making these small changes required a lot of tweaking to look right. Kind of a tightrope act, but the next flyer is more “me.” I’ll post that in a week or so.
