Colts special section cover by Stephen Beard
Indianapolis Star assistant managing editor Scott Goldman writes today:
I know you’re a fan of his work, so I thought I’d share our first special section cover from today.
Kick-ass 3D illo by Mr. Stephen Beard to kick off the weekend:

All he said was, “I’m picturing that scene from the first Star Trek trailer … with all those guys welding the Enterprise.”
And all I said was, “Yes, please.”
There’s more to come, Scott promises. And we’re eager to see it.

Wow! Very cool illustration. Now if only the bottom 2-3 inches was cut off…

I’ve long been a fan of Stephen’s work. He did great things when he was working at the Plain Dealer in Cleveland, and that trend has continued since his move to Indy a few years back.
The only problem is I don’t get to see as much of it these days as I did when he was in Cleveland.
Awesome job.

Amazing work by Stephen. From concept to execution.
Re: Ad … I agree it’s detracting. But somebody’s gotta pay for the 5 special sections we’re pumping out this week. Bring it!
