This
was a cover pitch gone wrong. Real quick without mentioning names:
A local Seattle indie mag wanted to use some of the art from a self
promo I made. They contacted me the day before it went to press
because they lost the reproductions and wanted me to send them the
original files. However, since they didn't ask for prior consent
I dragged my feet and sent them the files late. Later, when I went
to confront them, they told me I could do the cover for the fall
issue. Again, without mentioning names, I came up with an overall
concept involving the name of the magazine and fall. When I sent
the comp to the art director, they didn't know I was coming, and
the next issue wasn't coming out in the fall, but the spring. I
guess I got played, and then the cover took a dark turn into wasted
art. |
