With the passing of Gabriel Garcia Marquez, I've decided to start posting my thesis, which is book covers for a couple of his stories. This one is for 'Eva is inside her cat'. Gabo was a master of Magical realism and if you haven't read one of his stories, I highly recommend you do. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and Colombia. R.I.P Gabo, you will be missed.
