Book cover design for Ema J. Chiang’s first novel "Summer Rain Belongs Here."

It's my pleasure to work with Ema on her first novel. She came with a request to create the cover in my watercolor style based on the painting "Chop Suey" by Edward Hopper. I began the process by reading the story of Ema, which helped to craft the image in my mind. The challenge of this project is to imply the mystery tone in the illustration, however, not overpower the organic chemistry formed by the medium itself.
