New work: Book cover for Penguin

Recently I created a second cover for Amy Huberman's novel I wished for you.

The art director Justinia Baird-Murray requested "a young woman kicking up her heels".
Above is the approved sketch.

After completing the drawing Justinia asked for a 'midnight romance vibe' so in Photoshop I reversed out the line in white and added a midnight blue background. Final cover above.

Design Exchange party


An incredible party last night at the Design Exchange for the opening of their new show 6o Years of Designing the Ballet + The Tutu Project.
The party took place on the Historic Trading floor of the Former Stock Exchange. What a space.
Check out those windows!
