Shirley and Gluten

What the actual magazine looked like:



And a version I recreated using my publicity still and redoing the masthead and footer in Illustrator:

  1. Great work on the cover. It's how I remember them when first on the stands. I like illustrator, remember Freehand being my favorite. Would love to se a series of reproductions.
