Here’s a cover for a fab client Drake Russell who gave me some fantastic briefs to work to. This has to be one of my fav pieces of 2011 and a great one to end the year on. Drake is a fantastic guy and I really hope his book does well.
I will have links and such in the new year but until then have a great whatever you call your December time to eat, drink and be merry and i’ll see you all in 2012!
