Work Sample Description:

This was my Book cover! Whenever I have creative freedom with my projects I like to talk about mice and strawberries. So I decided to do my book about a mouse family in a strawberry patch that cant seem to catch a break because of their pesky fox and crow neighbors. I hand drew the cover and then transferred it over to indesign to create the final look. Im really happy with how this turned out and it was really fun to make.
