a black hardcover book (The Sins on their Bones by Laura R. Samotin) with gold foil designs on the cover and spine, featuring a havdalah set with a candle, spice box, and spilled kiddush cup, skeleton keys, and bone-like decorative motifs for a frame. at the center of the cover is the Hebrew text of the havdalah blessing and a lit match beneath it.

a black hardcover book (The Sins on their Bones by Laura R. Samotin) with gold foil designs on the back cover and spine, featuring the same frame and havdalah set from the front, but now the candle is lit & there is a quote on scroll at the center that has caught fire: "just as your sins are written on your bones, so shall you bear the name of God." below the quote, the match has gone out.

finally able to share a big project from the end of last year, just released this month - my gold foil hardcover designs for the @owlcrate edition of Laura R. Samotin’s dark Jewish fantasy The Sins on Their Bones

this was done entirely in Illustrator & i’m absolutely thrilled with how it came out in print! of course i’m only sharing my own contribution to the book here, but many other incredible artists worked on this special release - the (double-sided) dustjacket & interior art are fantastic so make sure to check them out too.

stay tuned for the other collaborations that grew out of this one - i’ve got a dustjacket cover coming out for OwlCrate’s June adult fantasy box & am doing some secret work with Laura related to another upcoming book!
