The Center Cannot Hold

The Center Cannot Hold

A junior journalist travels north to bury his grandfather — a Spanish Civil War volunteer, Blitz survivor, and founder of a charity that has lifted thousands out of hardship — and, commissioned to write the great man's story, opens the journals left behind in his locked study. What he finds there is a secret kept for seventy years: a truth that would right an old wrong, and destroy everything the old man built to atone for it.

Way Back When

Way Back When

The goal for this book cover was to create a retro vintage feel while keeping the design clean, timeless, and uncluttered. I chose a warm vintage orange as the dominant color to evoke nostalgia, with a rotary phone as the central object, an iconic symbol that instantly transports the reader back in time. To make the design unique across the entire book, I wrapped the phone cord around the spine, seamlessly connecting the front and back covers into one continuous composition. The entire cover was hand-drawn and illustrated from scratch, with no AI-generated elements or stock images. Every detail was carefully crafted to balance simplicity, storytelling, and visual impact. If you're looking for a custom hand-drawn book cover or illustration, feel free to message me anytime. I'd love to help bring your vision to life.

Minimalist Anxiety Self-Help Book Cover Design | Modern Psychology & Mental Health Cover with

Designed for a self-published author, this modern self-help book cover explores anxiety with warmth, clarity, and a touch of personality. Instead of relying on the usual visual clichés, I paired clean editorial typography with a simple line illustration to create a cover that feels calm, approachable, and memorable. The soft color palette reflects themes of emotional healing, self-compassion, overthinking, and personal growth while keeping the design highly legible at Amazon KDP thumbnail size. Created for a psychology and mental health book inspired by Internal Family Systems (IFS), this custom book cover balances strong visual hierarchy with a friendly, contemporary feel. It's designed to help nonfiction authors stand out in competitive self-publishing and traditional publishing markets while appealing to readers looking for books about anxiety relief, wellness, mindfulness, and emotional resilience.

Here is another seamless wraparound cover I created for a low fantasy novel. Every element was illustrated completely by hand, creating a continuous scene that transitions from a lush forest on the back cover to a dry, desolate landscape on the front, reflecting the story's world and atmosphere. The sword, mist, and architecture are key elements of the novel. Instead of placing the sword in the ground, I designed it to pierce the letter D in the title, creating a unique interaction between the typography and illustration. The massive tree trunk on the spine serves as a natural divider, making the transition between the front and back covers feel seamless. Everything was hand drawn—no AI-generated elements or stock images were used. I believe every book deserves original artwork that is crafted exclusively for its story.

Book Cover Illustration and Design

Valia Shiau wants nothing more than to launch an independent music station with her bandmate and erstwhile lover Soren, far from the corporate noise of the post-nuclear Metro. But her father's cancer returns and Soren leaves for a solo career. Valia is left with two choices: fade into obscurity, or monetize motherhood like her sister. Then Mericor Industries' enigmatic CEO, Jaakoman Bora, offers her a third option—broadcast her music from humanity's first interstellar colony. The catch: making history on Primis means corporate surrogacy, light-years away from everything she's ever known. As a global space race accelerates around her, Valia must decide how much she's willing to trade—her body, her future—even her voice—for the chance to be heard. But Primis holds more than anyone bargained for: the devil and the divine.
