    paper Cover Art for YA Novel Ecofreak
    In 2024, I designed and formatted the cover for the YA novel Ecofreak by Robin Arehart. The author had a clear vision for what she wanted the cover to look like, so I created thumbnail sketches based on her description. Once we were both satisfied with the sketches, I drew the cover art digitally using Krita. I made some minor adjustments at the request of the author and then formatted the front cover, back cover, and spine using Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. I also formatted the ebook cover. The book was then published on Amazon in 2024. illustrator coverart novel format digitalart…
    paper Postcards from Breakfast

    Postcards from Breakfast (2021) is a poetry book written by Sincerely Bluejay (also known as Madison Rene’) and illustrated by me. I designed the cover art and created illustrations to go alongside various poems throughout the book. The author wanted an eclectic feel to the book’s artwork, so I got the chance to experiment with a wide range of different media, including colored pencil, ink, pastel, watercolor, and collage. Rene’ and I maintained an open flow of communication throughout the project that allowed us both large amounts of creative freedom. I read the author’s poems and created thumbnail sketches for the ones with which I connected most. Then I showed Rene’ my sketches and she gave me feedback, which I used to make adjustments. Once we were both satisfied with the rough sketches, I created final versions, scanned them, and sent them to Rene’. The book was then published on Amazon in 2021.
