Jason Seiler’s New Year started with a superfast turnaround cover for the Village Voice.

“I started work around 4:00 a.m. Monday morning, painted all day, took a dinner break and then worked until around 9:00 p.m. I then woke up at 4:00 a.m. Tuesday morning and painted until the deadline, which was 8:00 a.m.”

“The idea behind this cover is simple: a parody of "The Odd Couple" movie poster. Since I didn't have much time, my main priority was to draw Mike Bloomberg and Bill Thompson's faces with the exact angle and expression that I needed. I had to make up their expressions . . . to do that, I took pictures of myself making the face that I needed and from there I made the rest up.”
