Jason Seiler's latest cover for Adweek magazine is a portrait of Steve Jobs. “I felt it was important to capture his warmth and passion for life, but to be honest, I felt a fair amount of pressure, to say the least,” says Jason.

“Last Wednesday, I was away with my family (at an apple orchard of all places) and I hadn't heard the news about the passing of Steve Jobs until that night as I drove back to Chicago. I was honored to do this painting but felt a great responsibility to get it right. On top of that I had two days to do it…”

“I gathered as much reference as I could and got to work. I based my image off of two different pictures but noticed subtle things within his expression from other images and brought them all together to create what I hope ‘feels’ like Steve Jobs.”
