Award winning author Ryan Lawson commissioned me to design and illustrate the cover for his new book. “No Word of a Lie” is "An historically accurate account of the last 185 years, told through the eyes of the world’s oldest Galapagos tortoise.” A pathological liar (the Tortoise - not Ryan). The central conceit of the book is brilliantly conceived, so it was fun to explore the character and capture the essence of the story in a single image.
