How were your illustrations used? :
Book Cover/s, Book inside or spot illustration/s

How did you make this work:
I was comissioned to illustrate the cover and inside pages of Haruki Murakami's book "Abandoning a cat", in which the author writes about his memories of his father and their relationship from childhood to adult life, and how it influenced his writings. I was given a lot of freedom to create the artworks and tried to visually communicate the imprecise aspect of the memory as much as possible.
