When No One is Watching

When No One is Watching is a thriller with expert character development that demonstrates Cole’s ability to craft a story, it’s just as much about people as it is about place. The themes Cole explores throughout—racism, white greed, sickness, addiction, encroaching gentrification—are ones that are acutely aligned with the current social climate. With it being such a dynamic and interesting read I wanted to reimagine the cover as if it was illustrated and include some additional interior pages. The colors and style used are meant to add to a feeling of uneasiness and distress that match the tone of the novel.

For the cover I wanted to create a scene that centers the location and for shadows the upcoming intrusion and delirium.

This illustration depicts a scene in the book where an elederly women who is normaly completlty mute is triggered and warns the two main characters of the dangers that lie ahead. It is alarge moment of foreshadowing in the novel.

At this point in the novel a character's death is revealed and this illustration represents the feeling of loneliness and emptiness that is felt by the main character. It also alludes to where this missing characters body has been buried.
