Too bad that the barcode couldn't be in perspective ! Bah I'm nitpicking, it looks very dynamic indeed.
ReplyDeleteYes, that does mar it a bit doesn't it? It might not scan if it was in perspective though. What I would have done would be to make it look like the barcode had been blown out of the way as the car sped by, rather than try and integrate it with the other text.
ReplyDeleteIt's not Lorenzo's fault though. I suppose the barcode was added in the office.
The Lorenzos are for my money some of the most inspiring and hard-working comics creators of recent years. I'd love to see their take on some 2000AD type-material, but I'm not complaining!
ReplyDeleteI know you meant to say "the Etheringtons" rather than "the Lorenzos" but just to clarify for new readers, their names are Robin and Lawrence Etherington. 'Lorenzo' is Lawrence's pen-name. Robin is the scriptwriter and Lorenzo is the artist.
ReplyDeleteI agree. It'd be great to see them do something for 2000AD, even if they only had time to do a cover.
