Apparently Pearson has been publishing this book for quite some time and was looking to update the cover. From what I was told they always use illustrated covers for this series, so I was thrilled when my work was selected for the ninth edition.
Public speaking has never been my favorite activity, but it was a fun cover to do! And I hope it helps me warm to the idea of speaking in front of large crowds.
Thanks to Maria, Carolyn and Mika for thinking of me for the illustration.
My cover has been accepted by American Illustration! Thanks to the judges and everyone at AI-AP for the recognition!
I’m very excited to share my latest book cover, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. It is a classic and one of my favorites, so it was really a dream job to receive the commission from Random House. I love creating lino-cut prints and I thought it was a perfect way to handle this.
