Very elegant Joe. I really enjoyed seeing this in the paper.

Some peoples faces are made for your lines and Miller's is one of them.
Jody Hewgill January 30, 2012
Your portraits are masterfully executed with an economy of line and tone. Beautiful cover.
Daniel Zalkus January 30, 2012
Good stuff! I noticed that there's a hint of color on the printed piece. Is there none on the original?
Joe Ciardiello January 30, 2012
Thanks Jeff, Mark and Jody.
Daniel - the color was done separately and added digitally (something I rarely do) at the AD's request. After seeing it printed, I realize it was too light, oh well.

Such economical line work that captures the personality instantly. Extraordinary Joe!
Also reminds me of what actor Lee Marvin might have looked like years ago too.

Great drawings Joe. Your use of black is as masterful
as your line.
That chick though - she kinda looks like a dude.
Marc January 31, 2012
Love 'em, Joe.

Great, Joe. I saw it from across the room on Saturday morning and instantly knew it was yours. I like the muted color on the collar.
Joe Ciardiello January 31, 2012
You're right Kurt, it does look like Lee Marvin. Damn, that's all I can see now.

That book review cover is a class act!
