A personal project to design a cover for The Graveyard Book, written by Neil Gaiman. The book is, despite all of its horror elements, a profound coming-of-age story of a living boy who is raised up by ghosts. I wanted the cover to reflect both the carefree nature of childhood, as well as the heavier, darker themes of the novel. The cover illustration, as well as the lettering, are all done by hand using digital painting tools.
