Cover Art for Two Scoops of Django 1.8
Here's the cover illustration for our latest book, Two Scoops of Django: Best Practices for Django 1.8. It depicts vines growing ice cream cones.
I did the cover by hand with pen and ink, scanning and converting my drawings to vector art and then coloring them digitally. For all the digital work, I used Inkscape.
The colors stand out on tablets quite nicely.
I also did the 50+ interior illustrations and wrote half the book. I'll be posting more about the art in the coming weeks.

Hey there, I just want to let you know that I read all comments, even if it takes days or weeks for me to switch my brain over from publishing mode to feedback-reading mode. Thanks for taking the time to write something. Your words mean a lot to me. Be gentle and kind - this is a space where I post my works-in-progress, good or bad, and it can be hard putting my art out there.
