This cover illustration for Feral Darell captures the heart of a 1970s small-town story about imagination, struggle, and the duality within us all. The main character — a determined young boy who invents a neighborhood street game but is misunderstood — stands confidently in the foreground. At the same time, subtle visual contrasts hint at his inner conflict between light and shadow, good and bad. My goal with this design was to blend emotional storytelling with a cinematic atmosphere, drawing readers into Darell’s world before they even open the book. Suppose you’re an author or publisher looking for cover art that tells a story at first glance. In that case, I specialize in bringing characters and emotions to life through thoughtful composition and expressive illustration.
