The pressure was on to create a cover sure to grab a customer's attention when they passed by it in the bookshop. I think I worked on it on and off for 2 weeks. But I'm happy with how it came out. It feels vibrant and has a nice flow of forms leading the eye around. I think it will make a great wall print as well. I'm just glad I was able to create an image that I am satisfied with, as the book cover holds so much importance for the success of the physical product. As artists, sometimes when we approach creating an important image with high expectations, it can really throw us out of the "flow state" and the critical side can chime in too often during the process. This is where establishing your own process through repetition and the years of practice will give you faith in the outcome.
