Why did you make this work:
An Atlas Traced By The Sky is the second novel by Goran Petrović, translated to Ukrainian. I created the book cover for a previous novel — Smalltalk Place at "Lucky Shot" — and this time I wanted to continue the previous graphic style and create a visual series. My task was to find a way to express the magic inside the text.

How was the illustration used:
A book cover for the Ukrainian edition of the novel.

How did you make this work:
This book is about a house with a sky as its roof, seven different characters who are somehow living together, and a thousand stories interconnecting them. What happens inside the house stands in a stark contrast to the outside world. I wanted to convey two different feelings: cold and simple (for external world) using geometric vector forms; and warm (inner world) using hand-made graphics.
