This is a cover work for my job at the Jackson Free Press for a story, commissioned by the local kids in the Media Literacy Program, that hasn't happened yet. It's supposed to be about how the media portrays teenagers, or something, but since they haven't given the story to us yet and we've held it off for the past month, it probably won't ever run. If it does I'll post a link to the story when it goes live on the site.

Never the less, I've decided to post it and share it with all you peoples because: A) Its been a really, really, REALLY long time since I've posted anything and B) I'm pretty proud of this piece.

EDIT: w00t! It ran and here's the link!! I'm so happy, now I'm going to pick up like a dozen copies before they fly off the racks!

Props go to and for their lover-ly tutorials! I couldn't done it (so well) with out them and am a little more confident because of it!
