This is an illustration for a book cover with the concept of a mysterious tree in the sun set. The requested main color is dark purple and bright orange. I made this with acrylic color.

This book cover design was finished in November 2014. The book is about the history of Nail Salons in the US, beginning with 2 very first women – who are called “the Godmother of the nail salon”, and then how the industry grew up until nowadays.
I was excited with this project because this was related to my homeland: Vietnam. Though these manicurists started their business in a faraway land – not Vietnam – but I still see the connection between us. I had a chance to work with the author: Claudette Varnado, and we had a great discussion during making the cover.
Later on she tried other designs and finally, she didn’t choose my cover version 😛 but it was a nice experience to me.

If you are interested in this book, you can find it on Amazon Kindle Book Store: “Nail Salons” of Claudette Varnado.

These are some cute design of detective characters.
Mr Dangerous Sandwich – we can imagine how dangerous he is by reading his name, right? Jeff Nathan – the book author from US needed this illustration to be mysterious and dangerous, but there shouldn’t be any kind of weapon that kids may feel afraid when looking at him. So he just need black sunglasses and an evil look.

Here is a sketch of another detective – represented the author.
