Last week I was asked by The New York Times to do this quick illustration for their Op Ed column with art director Erich Nagler. The piece was about the increasing crime, drugs, and poverty in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Even though I didn’t have as much time as I would have liked on this piece (less than 18 hours, with room to sleep somewhere in there), I was really happy with the outcome.
Coincidentally enough, just a few days before I did this illustration I had had another illustration killed with a similar western motif. It is always a shame to have a million ideas about a project swimming around in your head, and then have them cut short abruptly. It was nice to have such a quick turn around and be able to flush out some of those ideas, instead of just locking them away in my brain for use years later (or more commonly, to just let is waste away into the ether of unused mediocre ideas).

Nowhere Men #1 by Eric Stephenson, Nate Bellegarde, and Jordie Bellaire
The layouts to this series are fantastic. Every issue looks like a magazine from the 70’s. There are no real ads, only fake ones for companies in the title.

The Comic Book Legal Defense Fund is proud to announce LIBERTY VARIANT — a new fundraising program bringing special editions of the hottest new comics to reward the organization’s supporters at conventions across the United States.Image Comics is kicking off the program by contributing a special edition of Nowhere Men #1 by Eric Stephenson, Nate Bellegarde, Jordie Bellaire, and Fonografiks, which will premiere at Wizard World Portland on February 22. Limited to 500 pieces, the Nowhere Men #1 Liberty Variant is available for contributions of $10 each or $5 each for card-carrying CBLDF Members.
“So much of the CBLDF’s support comes from the passionate community of readers, collectors, and retailers we meet at conventions,” said CBLDF Executive Director Charles Brownstein, “so we’re thrilled to work with Image Comics to establish a new program that makes cool editions to thank those folks for their support! The Liberty Variants are designed to be great jumping-on moments for exciting books by CBLDF supporting creators, and unique collectibles that do good for the cause! Considering the enormous support Image Comics has provided over the years, and Eric Stephenson’s own personal efforts for our work, it’s a great honor to launch this program with his excellent new series.”Nowhere Men is an ongoing series that explores the fallout when the research and development company World Corp. and its superstar founders, known as “The Fab Four of Science,” push the limits of technology and morality. Melding science and intrigue with stylish art and design, Nowhere Men shows us a world where scientific innovation has replaced popular entertainment as the engine driving the modern world. A must read for fans of LOST, SAGA, and classic science fiction.
