Atlas Shrugged
We created the cover design and 15 illustrations for the "Atlas Shrugged" by Ayn Rand, multi-volume set published by The Folio Society in 2018. Each volume contains a series of images that combine cityscapes, industry and thirties glamour. It includes elements of science fiction, mystery, and romance, and it contains Rand's most extensive statement of Objectivism in any of her works of fiction. The Folio edition is now out of print. Award of Excellence Communication Arts featured in Graphis Journal #377 (2023). American Illustration 38 Selected.
