Blue Estate #2

Viktor Kalvachev's cover for Blue Estate #2 is a striking, moody piece — a heavily tattooed woman posed in dramatic low-key lighting, with lines of white powder visible at the bottom of the frame beneath the episode title "One Day at a Time." The razor-blade logo running across the masthead ("Never Dull — One Close Shave After Another") sets the series' sharp, noir-tinged tone perfectly. With a creative team that includes Andrew Osborne, Robert Valley, Toby Cypress, and Nathan Fox alongside Kalvachev, this 2011 Image series clearly brought serious talent to its gritty L.A. crime world.
