GRANTA: Chris Adrian series

bantjes_granta-2

Michael Salu, the Art Director for Granta Publications in the UK. hired me to do a series of covers for Chris Adrian’s books. We started with A Better Angel and The Great Night. I decided to do both covers using the same basic pattern tile, but making images by colouring the patterns.

The final book I did for the series was Gob’s Grief, for which they wanted a more directly pictorial image for the cover, that I managed to execute still using the pattern.
