Pete and Pete tribute



Greetings, my little vikings!

Above is my cover contribution for the forthcoming fanzineWaiting for October. It's a celebration of all things relating to the 90's Nickelodeon show, The Adventure of Pete and Pete.

In case it’s unclear, the composition takes cues from the movie poster Big Trouble in Little China, by the great Drew Struzan. I wanted to go big, movie poster style for this cover, and that seemed like a good starting point. Below you can see samples of both my initial 'Big Trouble' sketch as well as an alternate cover idea.
I tried to cram as many Pete and Pete things in there as I reasonably could, being such a big fan of the show. Hope you all like!

Wow, I love this poster and the show it was based on. Any chance the original (assuming it wasn't made digitally) or any prints will be available to buy

Wow, I love this piece and the show it came from. Is there any chance that the original art (assuming it wasn't made digitally) or any prints will ever be for sale?

Yes! I'll be putting it on my BigCartel store at some point in the near future.
