I’ve always had a weird obsession with Lucy Maude Montgomery work, especially Anne of Green Gables. I’ve always taken this quote as something of a personal motto so I wanted to do something special with it.

I’m proud of this design, and the way it’s been received by Broken Earth fans. Even though it’s not usually something I would illustrate, I feel like you can (hopefully) still see my hand here. Thanks for all of the love, fellow book nerds! 🧡 . . . . . . . . . #brokenearthtrilogy #brokenearth #thefifthseason #fifthseason #nkjemisin #nkjemisinbooks #thebrokenearth #thebrokenearthtrilogy #bookcoverdesign #bookcoverillustration #bookillustration #litart #coverillustration #illustratedbookcover #bookjacket #designandillustration #shedesignsbooks #bookcoverdesigner #booksellers #bookcoverillustrator #publishing #bookobsessed #publishingdesign #bookcoverart #igbooks #igreads #bookcovergallery #bookjacketdesign #bookcoverlover #beautifulbooks (at Austin, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMcd_S-lmMH/?igshid=1nk357fzxs5pi

Un bruit dans la nuit

The second book in the “Broken Earth” series by N.K. Jemisin, and my third to share here as a mock-up. Purple isn’t usually a color I love to work with, but I had to use it here to capture the amethyst accurately. It was a fun challenge! . . : . . . : : : . . . #bookcoverdesign #bookcover #bookcoverillustration #bookillustration #litart #coverillustration #illustratedbookcover #bookjacket #designandillustration #shedesignsbooks #bookcoverdesigner #booksellers #bookcoverillustrator #publishing #bookobsessed #publishingdesign #bookcoverart #igbooks #igreads #bookcovergallery #booklove #bookjacketdesign #bibliophile #bookish #bookcoverlover #beautifulbooks #coverart #nkjemisin #brokenearthseries #obeliskgate (at Austin, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNXtYTUliqX/?igshid=oizuwcqink06

I imagined this book would be about Black women being absolutely exhausted and fed up with having to teach us white folks the same obvious BS over and over again, regarding our racism. . . . . . . . . . . . . #bookcoverdesign #bookcover #bookcoverillustration #bookillustration #litart #coverillustration #bookstagram #illustratedbookcover #bookjacket #designandillustration #shedesignsbooks #bookcoverdesigner #booksellers #bookcoverillustrator #publishing #bookobsessed #publishingdesign #bookcoverart #igbooks #igreads #bookcovergallery #booklove #bookjacketdesign #bibliophile #bookish #bookcoverlover #beautifulbooks #coverart (at Austin, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSpKwiaFFMt/?utm_medium=tumblr

This lettering was SO much fun to work on! I would love to do more projects that focus on unique type. Playing with the texture and color overlay was also pretty rewarding on this one, too. . . . . . . . . . #bookcoverdesign #bookcover #bookcoverillustration #bookillustration #litart #coverillustration #bookstagram #illustratedbookcover #bookjacket #designandillustration #shedesignsbooks #bookcoverdesigner #booksellers #bookcoverillustrator #publishing #bookobsessed #publishingdesign #bookcoverart #igbooks #igreads #bookcovergallery #booklove #bookjacketdesign #bibliophile #bookish #bookcoverlover #beautifulbooks #coverart (at Austin, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CR4Kw-HlVOw/?utm_medium=tumblr
