Let me explain.
I started playing with ideas for the cover of THE FIRST KID ON MARS a few days ago. I'm not an illustrator, but I figured I could find my way around Canva well enough to put something together.
After a few days, I finally created something that expressed the idea in my head: a teddy bear sitting on the surface of the red planet. It wasn't really very good, but I didn't hate it.
So I posted it on Twitter, thinking I'd get some feedback on the concept that might help me figure out how to move forward.
I never could have expected what happened next.
A complete stranger, who happens to be an illustrator in Germany, saw my post and the comments and replied:
I got inspired by your concept and had a little fun as a daily challenge. 😊
It's yours if you like it.
I do like it. I like it a lot. I need to give it some thought and figure out some logistical things, but I think we may have just accidentally revealed the cover of my first book.
What do you think?
