Three gouache concept paintings by Steve Purcell created as early ideas for the #MonkeyIsland 2: LeChuck’s Revenge cover art. These pieces were rough concept explorations intended to convey mood and direction rather than serve as finished illustrations.

My three-year-old daughter requested I make a "Guybrush" Jack-o'-lantern this Halloween (we are currently playing through Curse of Monkey Island and she's utterly OBSESSED with it). The pumpkin was so big I thought "heck, there's room for four more!" So here's the whole principle cast.

In 2020, Bill Tiller created a high-resolution version of the background art for the Barber Shop. He aimed to persuade Disney to release a new HD version of The Curse of #MonkeyIsland. The left side is still unfinished, and it lacks the shadows of the table and chair.
