"During a recent viewing of the website of artist Jamie Givens, who has done numerous cover illustrations for MG over the years, I became interested in a series of sketches, titled, “Approach,” he did showing the process of how his artwork comes into being, from initial idea, through the sketching process, all the way to final product. We asked Jamie to take us through the process of how this month’s cover came into being."
