  1. This one is a trip...by eschewing the vivid candy colors of Mr. Woodring's palette, Jon makes the fleshy bits of the saw victim that much more unsettling.

  2. Covering Woodring is quite a taks... The logs and sunset are rendered awesomely.

    Some more folks are taking the covered meme and running with it here (though mostly doing Image stuff from the 90s!): http://blog.electricantzine.com/tag/coverthatshit

  3. This one blows me away--subtle changes in color and line really can change the entire feel of a cover. OK, that's obvious to most everyone out there but its awesome to see it play out.
