Won Juror's choice for best book design in 72nd Annual UTK Student Art Competition/Exhibition (2019)
I created my own book where I was the author, designer, and illustrator. The personal desired outcome to have a very "homemade" feel to it, so I started from scratch and painted many of the illustrations, as well as cutting up paper and scanning it in like a scrapbook.![Book with dragon cover](https://cdn.myportfolio.com/1a0281b635d90fee4827fc8bb2f9f8a5/a44b3c81-498e-4d1e-9f3b-cf7afe53e4f5_rw_1200.jpg?h=03d31731d3e61f5ab5a93ddbb7a7e3d2)
