POP ART JUBILEE

In the latest issue of DWM ( # 448) the Timeteam watch The Idiot's Lantern which is set at the time of the Queen's Coronation in 1952. It occured to me that this was an ideal opportunity to use a Pop Art retro style. I did a bit of this way back in the series The Cybermen so it was nice to revisit. After drawing and inking the art as usual I added some dot screens digitally ( like the old Letratone) and used  very flat colours hopefully evoking memories of Roy Lichtenstein's controversial comic panels. Below are various stages of the artwork.
Have a great bank holiday everyone!
