Lizzie Borden Took an Axe...

*Cover Art by Simon & Pulse

Acclaimed author Dawn Ius contracted me to create/illustrate some promo give aways for her latest novel Lizzie. (Book is available for pre-order now and available wherever you buy books after March 2018.)

I had an ABSOLUTE BLAST creating visuals for this project! I love true crime and the tale of Lizzie Borden has always stuck in my mind. I was able to read a few chapters this fall to help me capture the characters and I seriously have not stopped thinking about them. I cannot wait to read the entire book!
