Why am I telling you all this, you ask? Well, because this week's episode challenged each contestant to create cover art for a classic novel. The winner was awarded by having their cover featured on a Penguin Classic.
I gotta say, some of these covers are pretty damn cool. Others, however, I don't get AT ALL.
For example:
COOL: Bram Stoker's Dracula by contestant Mark
HUH?: Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice by contestant Judith
Take a look at the slideshow of the artists' work HERE, and let us know which one's YOUR favorite!
Eew! That P&P cover sucks. (Sorry, Judith)
ReplyDeleteI actually think Jaclyn's "P&P" cover is my fav.
ReplyDeleteYeah! Judith's took me FOREVER to figure out what book it even was! And I'll admit, it took me reading it in the caption below the photo to be sure LOL
ReplyDeleteAnd I agree that Jaclyn's is stunning. It's so whimsical and just plain beautiful!
Very cool! My favorites are Abdi's Frankenstein, Jaclyn's P&P, Miles's Frankenstein and Peregrine's The Time Machine.
ReplyDeleteOf those four, I think my favorite is Abdi's Frankenstein.
Wow interesting! I've never seen this show but it's such a fun challenge. I agree the Dracula is good. In fact, the other Dracula is good too.
ReplyDeleteI love the art for the black and white Pride and Prejudice but I'm not sure it fits the story. The woman looks naked? And she has a bowler hat? (Wrong time period for that headwear.)
