True Crime Book Stack

This hand-lettered book stack painting features ten staples of classic True Crime literature. Each book is an existing cover variant, chosen to fill the color scheme I felt best represented the genre. All text is done freehand—no fonts in sight! The composition is then digitally painted, utilizing traditional watercolor techniques. Art prints are available as a small 5”x7”, a medium 8”x10”, and a large 16”x20”.

• Zodiac by Robert Graysmith
