Cover assignment was to simply do a Spidey/Peter Parker cover. The theme of showing half and half has been done many times but that's ok, there can be a few more.

The thing I've learned over the years is covers need to stand out on a shelf amongst 150 other comic book covers. This is a hard task. Going into a store you'll notice that the shelves are lined with skittles. Too many colors competing for your attention resulting in nothing really jumping out. With this piece, as well as many of my covers, I try to keep in simple with big, block colors. Here is white and red. White will stand out amongst the sea of colors, then the red will jump off that white and hopefully into your bag to take home!

Makes me think of an actor, but I can't think of his name right now. Gimme a while, and I'll get it.

You are so true. All the comic books competite with all their colorful covers, having the result that you will not look at any special. I also experienced that only the „simple“ covers with big color blocks pop out and will finally be taken home.
