Tassilo der Mumienabrichter
A novel by Simon Weinert, where I completely designed, painted and illustrated from the cover to the back cover and internal illustrations of the book; as well flyers and poster for the book presentation. Every detail was coordinated with the author, print house and editorial.

What an incredible project! I was so happy to be able to work on it, being such a multifaceted and varied opportunity where I used my knowledge and experience from graphic design to oil painting, drawing and composition. Book cover painting, back cover painting, dust jacket flaps illustrations and fonts design, internal illustrations for full page and chapter markers besides many other ornamental elements were fully worked out and lately applied for this novel and its subsequent promotion. It was as well a wonderfully well coordinated, full of passion project together with the author, print house and publisher. The idea was to represent this concept of a “Baroquepunk” version of the main character, Tassilo, and as well many other aspects of the novel such as the city where the action takes place and some other literary elements from the story, to show a rich and very clear image of what the reader will encounter within this amazing story full of rivalry, deceive and decadence with a touch of Fantasy elements that form a very unique novel.
