They mystery of the creative process is...mysterious. Who can know what moves the heart, what forces from beyond conspire to move the artists hand to reach beyond himself. To reach into the great mystery of existence itself and pull a piece of the great almighty and give it mortal form. Who can know these things?
Not me, that's for sure. I sit down and draw. Sometimes I erase and then draw again. Sometimes I'll even erase a second or third time. After that I usually crumple and start over. I will say one thing, sometimes I complete a sketch and I say to myself, "Man that is good. David Lapham, boy, you are a frickin' GENIUS." Then, like, two days later I look at that drawing and I laugh. I just laugh and laugh and laugh. Then I crumple and start over.
Like the great Picasso once said, "It's like printing money." And we're all sure he meant that in the most artistic way possible.

Neat mock-ups, are we going to get to see a cover or two done in the bottom style eventually? I kinda prefer it to the style that you and Vertigo ended up going with the for the first couple issues
We could, if the series does well and keeps going. However I did pick the final because it's the one I like best. Maybe I'll get bored of it eventually.
I like a lot the style of the covers, I think that the font chosen for the subtitle works perfectly with the limited palette. And the balloon.
One little doubt, did you do the final logo design too?
I'll post my original designs. I drew the guitar/gun. But the"Young Liars" writing wasn't done by me. I'm too "low-fi" to execute anything that slick. However, I do dig it immensely.
I felt curious after seeing your sketch with the guitar and the logo position, all in position. Thanks, David
