Chaos

I was once again commissioned by Mori Publishing to illustrate the cover of the book Chaos: Charles Manson, the CIA, and the Secret History of the 1960s. Despite the complexity of the subject matter, it—combined with the countercultural explosion of the 1960s—allowed for an avalanche of references from that era. I sought to represent everything there: Manson's psychopathy, the weapons used in the crimes, the acid trip induced by LSD, the CIA briefcase, among many other references. Creating this cover was literally a "trip." I hope you enjoy it.
