Above is my cover contribution for the forthcoming fanzine, Waiting for October. It’s a celebration of all things relating to the 90’s Nickelodeon show, The Adventure of Pete and Pete.
In case it’s unclear, the composition takes cues from the movie poster Big Trouble in Little China, by the great Drew Struzan. I wanted to go big, movie poster style for this cover, and that seemed like a good starting point. Below you can see samples of both my initial ‘Big Trouble’ sketch as well as an alternate cover idea.
I tried to cram as many Pete and Pete things in there as I reasonably could, being such a big fan of the show. Hope you all like!
Italian artist Igor Scalisi Palminteri from Palermo has always been fascinated by religiosity.
