Book Cover Illustration – Two Spies Reach Out from the Grave

I was the book cover illustrator for Chad Huskins’ Two Spies Reach Out from the Grave, which was published in August 2018. I built this cover right at the drafting table, relying on traditional India ink on Bristol board to establish the mood and lock in those stark graphic silhouettes.
