Empire 100 Greatest Movies

First ever illustrated newsstand covers for Empire Magazine.

Magazine Key Art by Paul Shipper.

Client: Empire Magazine.

Year: 2020.

Empire Magazine have become a wonderful client of mine over the last few years. Mostly the work has been for 'Subscriber only' covers - specialist cover art for the subscriber issues.

This is the first time Empire have commissioned illustration for their newsstand issues, and it wasn't just one cover, we did 6! The fluro colours and powerful character images of 6 of the curated top 100 greatest movie list certainly made a splash on magazine racks around the world!

A big shout out to Chris Lupton, Terri White and the Empire Team behind this bold decision. I am absolutely thrilled to be the first illustrator to work with them on their newsstand issue - and I hope we will see more illustrated cover art on the shelves again soon!
