Just in time for Halloween here's my new DesignerMX cover. Really pleased to be able to do some hand-lettering, a portrait & a mix of some of my favourite scary songs! Listen to the tunes here: http://designers.mx/#/mixes/listen/inferno & the full image with lots of process shots are here: http://jacquioakley.com/inferno-dia-de-los-muertos . Hope this gets you in the spirit!
Thanks guys! Seth & Java, I was really pleased I got to re-purpose this & in such a fun manner too. Love getting to do mixes. So glad you liked the process. Matt, you're too funny. Tom, I'm blushing but which 'mone'y are you giving me? Seems a little suspicious that you said all 'the' money and not 'my'.
Emir, glad you liked the detail in the hair. Next time I will crop larger just for you. Yeah for Gravediggaz! I thought I was their only fan. High five back at ya. Thanks also Mike! I felt weird about showing process at first, like it would ruin the mystery. Glad people are liking it. Tom, I will happily take all the money. Thanks.

The crop really doesn't do this justice, because her headgear is what really gives the illustration its edge.
But I can understand how it's hard to present on a vertical 400x300 surface.
The blog post was excellent.
The illustration is insane.
Loved the choice of music.
+1 for the Gravediggaz track.
Pumped Nigamortiz during my high school years as well.
*high five*
