John Lewis  Carry On:
Reflections for a New Generation

This project is a commission for John Lewis’ posthumous book Carry On. The cover was commissioned by Grand Central Publishing in May of 2021 lead by art director Albert Austin Tang.

The book is a national best seller and the audio book, performed by Don Cheadle, went on to win the Grammy for the best spoken word album at the 64th annual awards celebration. I’m honored to have been asked to create this portrait of the civil rights icon and former Congressman. Congratulations to John’s family, and writers Kabir Sehgal + Andrew Young.
