A murder mystery. A dead sister. Teenage drama.

This book looks to have it all for the YA crowd and it’s been so fun starting the design process. After what feels like years focussing on illustrated—or at lest, illustrated featuring—book covers, I’m enjoying flexing those old photo-composite muscles.

I’m again working into real life photos and scans to bring to life this YA mystery including polaroids of my own sister and friends!

I can’t wait to reveal more, but for now, let creative juices bubble away!
