An unused cover idea for my Avengers ‘Art Appreciation Month’ cover. This one was meant to reference the litho ‘Bal du Moulin Rouge,’ by Jules Cheret.
More here, including reference photos, and process shots of my cover —
For those who might’ve missed it yesterday:
Today Marvel announced a series of variant covers they will be releasing this April under the banner “Avengers Art Appreciation”. Throughout the month, “fans will have the opportunity to see their favorite super hero team in the styles of the world’s greatest artists like Rembrandt, Michelangelo, Monet, Pollock, Schielle and more!” I was asked to participate in the fun, with a tribute piece to Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, for which I decided to reference his famous litho,Moulin Rouge: La Goulue. Hope you like!
