“Red Sky at Morning” Book Cover Art
Harper Collins Publishing asked me to illustrate the cover of the classic novel Red Sky at Morning by Richard Bradford. A coming of age story set in the Southwest, this was a perfect assignment. Using black and white scratchboard, I created a simple image that conveys the open sky and landscape of Northern New Mexico. It was important to include a non specific human element, so I added the adobe house. Published in 2020.

“Unmaking The Bomb” Book Cover Art
In Shannon’s new book she considers what it means to reckon with an increasingly contaminated world and how particular ways of knowing and regulating toxicity condition our very definitions of health, safety, and security. My painting with it’s cracked surface and birds in flight is a perfect reflection of this book’s intent. Published in 2023.
