Here is the completed image, published spread, and below the submitted pencil sketch which was submitted for approval before artwork was commenced.

Continuing to work on giclée print designs in between commercial assignments. At the moment focussing on monochromatic palettes, distressed paper surfaces and simple figure forms.
A new assignment from ASIS International with a cover and spread for Security Management magazine. This time the theme centred around the seriousness of opioid addiction in the workplace and the inherent dangers therein. Fatalities being a very real risk.
