White is for Witching


I did some illustration work on a book trailer! Did you know books had trailers? Turns out they do. This trailer is about a new book by Helen Oyeyemi being published by Picador books in the UK.
The job was commissioned by the excellent design shop HudsonBec, working with one of my very favorite designers, Alex Bec. Animation and compositing done by the multi-talented Julia Pott.

the trailer and book info is here:
