Front cover. Aged with soy sauce, nail file, abrasive rock, water, and crystal shards. A copy of the client’s book was sourced secondhand and did not need any artificial aging methods applied.

Spine. Takes cues from author’s original published work, such as publisher. 

Back cover. Again, given a wash with soy sauce, aged with rock fragments and a nail file.

Cover draft, drawn in Procreate using stock art as a starting point. What did artists do without the mirror tool and computers?
