The Black Swan: Impact of the Highly Improbable (Overprint View) - Book Cover.
Self-Initiated 10” x 11” 2011
Hand-Illustrated. Digitally manipulated.
Black Swan was one of my favorite book last year. But it's original book jacket lacked visual impact. The "swans" described are statistically rare events that have an outsized impact on the course of history eg. discovery of penicilin. An egg literally hides inside the flap at the back of the book, illustrating the unpredicatble nature of human events.
