The Door That Led to Where
Here’s a new cover I created for Delacorte Press for the book The Door That Led to Where. It’s about a teenager who’s able to travel back in time through a door to 1830’s London where he must solve a crime that connects the two eras. To see the full jacket, check out the project’s portfolio page.

Get Smart About Tobacco!
I had the great opportunity to illustrate an anti-smoking campaign for Scholastic / CVS Health at the tail-end of last year. The work consisted of a large poster to be hung in classrooms with a series of illustrations for accompanying worksheets. As an anti-smoker myself, I’m really happy I was able to work on this! You can see illustrations from the worksheets below.
