penguin: nerdist book cover

after designing this gig poster for chris hardwick, (comedian/actor/host of the insanely popular nerdist podcast, penguin books hired me to adapt it for the cover of chris' new nerd self help book "the nerdist way".

even though they had me take this image through to final, they eventually decided to go with a photo cover for the book.

at any rate, it was a fun assignment to work on, i got paid for it, and i got to draw a giant tin robot. not too shabby.
