Description
Born from a deep dive into the raw, urgent language of Jean-Michel Basquiat, this piece emerged while mapping out structural layouts for my children’s book.
The composition strips down form into a dense network of energetic black line work, fractured architecture, and bold blocks of vibrant yellow cutting through an atmospheric haze of whites and grays. It captures a moment of intense creative collision, where the structural discipline of book design meets the raw, energetic rhythm of street-art expressionism.
I titled all these layouts before the book was completed, and I decided not to change them because it adds a sense of intrigue and raw creation to the evolution of the story.
