Commissioned to create a front-cover illustration for Alex Wheatle’s novel Brenton Brown. The brief required visual continuity with the original Brixton Rock design while portraying the main character as older and more contemporary. Focused on maintaining a consistent colour palette and stylistic approach, integrating narrative details such as the character’s facial scar to symbolise his journey and personal evolution.
