It was pretty intimidating to me when I got asked by an award-winning author (who also happened to be my boss at that time) to come up with a cover for his upcoming book. Also even more nerve-wracking were that, no.1, the first person he asked was our senior designer (whose works are really fantabulous); no.2, I have not read any story from the collection; and no.3, he wanted the study ASAP.
After reading the titular short story, I got a "Eureka!" moment then I rushed to draw. Aside from some minor edits on the title, it got approved.
