"Emergency Planning for a Library of Questionable Legal Status" Cover

Author Katelynne Shimkus commissioned me to design the cover for her hybrid fiction/non-fiction novel, Emergency Planning for a Library of Questionable Legal Status. The novel follows the journey of an unsanctioned pop-up library built by and for the people during the Occupy Boston movement. The brief asked me to incorporate traditional protest and propaganda poster influences (with a dash of whimsy) while making it clear that it takes place within Boston.
