Beppe Grillo for Panorama (Italian weekly) (by tsevis)
Beppe Grillo is the hottest European politician today. His enemies are calling him names like clown, demagogue or even Mussolini while his followers are finding in him the person who inspires a real political movement of hope and change. As I am considering Italy something like a second homeland I am particularly interested in the subject and very happy when Panorama magazine asked me to create this cover. I am not sure if I would follow or vote Grillo. But I am really happy that he is around and he's opening the real debates for Europe's and Italy's future. You can see the cover on Panorama's website here. (Personally I don't agree with the article) Best viewed large. Attention: Big file. (10240 x 11264 = 31.7" x 25.5" @ 300 ppi) Alternately you can zoom in to the high res (115 megapixels) file with Microsoft ZoomIt. Made with custom developed scripts, hacks and lots of love, using my Mac, Synthetik Studio Artist, the Adobe Creative Suite and good music.
