PROPOSED COVERS ///
I’ve been tinkering with the idea of producing a separate portfolio, solely with book design work, through the Cargo Collective publishing platform. It’s still very much a work in progress, but you can see some of my (never-before-seen) proposed covers there. Book interiors will also be updated in the very near future. So check back...

New book cover
This book cover is the result of some experimenting with new techniques (new to me at least!) in Photoshop. I greatly prefer Illustrator, so I don’t have the greatest confidence in my Photoshop abilities.
