This is one of my favorite books, and I've always wanted to take some real time to illustrate it. So when John Malloy assigned a book cover as this week's assignment, I knew instantly what I would do!
The letters came from an alphabet I made in my sketchbook for my Hand Letters class. I had to simplify them slightly, using two colors instead of three, because they were too busy for this already busy piece. Plus, they were a little hard to read. I think I tweaked them enough that I got them to be instantly readable.
I left my camera cord at my mom's place at Easter time, but I should be getting it back in the mail soon... at which point, I'll take some nice pictures of my first completed project for my independent study. Scoots!
this is awesome!

ReplyDeleteBozje moi. That book still gives me nightmares, even though it's now been proved that he just made it all up. Your illustration is sublime.
