THE ROCKET
A small selection from the over 125 issues of The Rocket I art directed from 1994-2000. Some of the illustrators and photographers I worked with here were Ellen Forney, Richard Sala, Charles Peterson, Curt Doughty, David Walega, and Robin Laananen. Artwork for the features was the occasional standard press-packet studio band shot, but I've chose to show the variety of images we gleaned from a huge pile of vintage magazines. We had one old scanner and some early Mac computers for layout, but some of the pieces here were done directly with a stat camera we used for reproductions onto photostats. The goal for all editorial content was pretty much irreverence and mockery.
