I had a hell of a time figuring out where to place the deviation- isn't there a section for 'cover art' or something?

Anyhoot, you remember how in elementary and middle school your teachers would have you cover your textbooks to keep them in better condition? If you were one of the cool ones, you'd go out and buy those stretchy fabric thingies to wrestle the book into. If not, you'd just cut apart a brown paper bag and tape it into a sleeve.

Well, my cover to my old Silverstein book, Falling Up, has finally breathed its last. A few days ago, the sleeve ripped right down the spine. So, I just went and designed me a new one. Ideally, I'd like to stencil or screen-print it onto a brown paper bag with black and white paint. It seems like a fun idea.

Also, since I don't have a subscription, I can't click the nifty little button to ask for critiques. Well, this is me asking for one. If this is a strong enough piece, I'd like to include it in my portfolio.
