Inspired by Death Proof, this cover features a portrait of Stuntman Mike. It's an eerie image, showing the mystery and complexity of the character. Most recognizable is Mike's scar - A detail Alex does a terrific job emphasizing.
The other notable feature is the cover's title. Initially, the printed words of "Tarantino Films" bothered me quite a bit since I provide each artist a detailed page of instructions. However, I realized the misprint resembled the essence of Grindhouse films. Remembering the opening sequence of Death Proof, the movie was originally presented as Thunder Bolt until a black title card printed with the film's proper name was projected onto the silver screen.
Overall, I really enjoy Alex's art. If you want to see more of his work, check out http://ironhed.tumblr.com/
