Towards the end of last year, I was commissioned by the Indian arm of Penguin Books to create a quick Illustration for the cover of a book by renowned Indian poet Vikram Seth.

The brief was pretty strict and it was a very tight 24 hour deadline, but it was a fun project to work on as I hadn’t previously collaged water before and adding Penguin to my client list was also a big draw.

The original Illustration included the shells, but they decided to take them off for the final printed cover.
