Jack Kerouac – On The Road
An illustrated book cover idea for the novel 'On The Road' by american writer Jack Kerouac
The novel describes the story of the main character Sal’s travels across America, living life against a backdrop of jazz, poetry, and drug use. I wanted illustrate how the lifestyle and culture were so deeply ingrained in all the characters.
This was achieved by adding vain like marks, forming roads out from the main character. The book is loosely based on Jack Kerouac’s own experiences, so I decided to use him as the model for the illustration.
