Richard Rhino - Cover illustration

I wanted to use a silhouette-like figure for this book cover. An 'every-man' the reader can identify with. Faceless and anonymous. (I hate it when they show you exactly how a character should look on a book cover. Let me do the work!).

The style and layout for this cover is inspired by old penguin paper back books from the 70's - 80's. (I spend a lot of time in old book stores / vintage markets looking at old book cover illustrations and designs. They just fascinate me).
