I’m excited to share a behind-the-scenes look at the process for this year's Hollow Jack artwork for 2 Towns.

I used to think design was all about precision — pixel-perfect grids, the Golden Ratio, and this idea that “good design is invisible.” I chased that notion, striving for something that would blend seamlessly into the background, unnoticed but effective.

A few months ago, I picked up a book called The Education of an Illustrator, edited by Steven Heller and Marshall Arisman.
