Here's the final printed cover for the Princeton Alumni Review Humor Issue. Below are some of the rejected sketches along with the approved sketch. Originally it seemed like the laughing mouth was the direction they were leaning but settled on the face with funny glasses in the end. I think i'm going to start showing some favorite rejected sketches more often in a REJECTED SKETCHES SPOTLIGHT. Enjoy.

Approved sketch.

 

This one was my personal fave.
