Cover Illustration for The Dramatist: The Technology Issue
I was commissioned to create a cover illustration depicting the impact of modern technology on the very traditional field of writing plays.
Victorian costumes; a nod to woodcut illustration styles; a reference to the retro-futurism of a classic movie robot; and the colorful chat balloon graphics of modern conversations all come together to meld the classic with contemporary.

The chat balloon concept was mine, captions were created later by the editorial staff to populate the conversation.
