This cover was a bit of a stressful nightmare to create and I’m still not sure overall how happy I am with it but I like the concept. The book was called Creaking Guts. Not out of any attempt at being ‘edgy’ but more out of the weird sounds my stomach would make when I sat in silent classrooms drawing, as silly as it was its something that always stuck with me and the name had been planned for years due to that.
If you turn this image on its side its quite clearly the internal organs of the body but with it being a wrap around cover I wanted to bring it in so zoomed up and at an angle that it more becomes an uncomfortable abstraction of shapes rather than the explicit nature of gore. I’m not sure if that came across but it was fun trying to make it happen.
