Panilla’s Journey- Middle grade book cover

Hey I came up with the cover artwork for this project about 2-3 years ago. This collaborative middle grade story was a joy to illustrate. Naru is one of the Bay Area’s hip hop pioneers who I saw perform as a kid. He and his daughter wrote this story together and he is making it into a physical book. You want one?

Check out some of the artwork process below as I take it from doodle to finished painting and design.

Here is the last middle grade book I worked on as the author! Hana On Stage!
