Digital illustration for the book cover of American Gods by Neil Gaiman. The book cover expresses the absurdist and dark tone of the book with a bizarre plastic model kit, referencing both the roadtrip that is the book's central plot and also the feeling that things are not what they appear that informs the book's tone.

Inspired by Dadaist readymades, I used a store-bought model to create a photo collage. I incorporated surreal elements like quarters in the model frame, and digitally rendered the title as spray paint.
