Jason spent more than 70 hours creating the artwork, which continues the rich tradition of great portraiture on the cover of TIME. “A lot of times before I start a painting, I see it finished in my head,” he says. “With the Pope, I let it happen organically.” For an in-depth look at sketch and process, see this TIME interview with Jason.
