Mock Cover: “In the dark, Dark room & other scary stories” by Alvin schwartz

Been chipping away at this piece for a couple weeks in between personal stuff, freelance, and work. Here’s my mock cover art for one of my favorite scary books as a kid, Alvin Schwartz’s ” In A Dark, Dark Room & Other Scary Stories.” Its a book that is on the banned book list. I remember in elementary school, every year for Halloween I’d check this book out. I loved it so much. Still do even as an adult. Hope one day to get to illustrate a scary book or Halloween themed book.

Okay with the craziness of the holidays, I totally forgot to post some of the sketches in my sketchbook. I’m usually on top of posting my work in Instagram and Tumbler (edwardiantaylor). So if you wanna follow me there, thats where I usually post stuff. Thanks again for all your support for the past year. I’ve learned a ton within this last year, and I look forward to another year of learning and growth. Thanks everyone!
