Charles Bukowski: The Essentials
A series of book covers created for five well known books of fiction and poetry written by Charles Bukowski. The goal of this project was to juxtapose Bukowski's graphic and, at times, vulgar writing with playful illustrations. These illustrations depict the key element of each book they represent. The books included: Ham On Rye, Factotum, Pleasures of the Damned, Tales of Ordinary Madness, The Post Office.
Tools: Copic Markers, Illustrator, Photoshop, Prisma Colored Pencils
