Mark explains: “This was a deliberate attempt to take the wonderful feel of kitsch design and over-wrought emotion featured on pulp covers from the thirties to the early fifties and marry that to a modern style of rendering. These are a little hit and miss in places, with regard to that aim, but overall I think it works.”

“The images were created as part of a commission of six covers for prints at 40" by 30", Xtreme was ideal for such large pieces, vector being resolution independent and much less of a strain on my PC than bitmaps of that size.”
