O for Oprah

Editorial for O magazine for their book review section. The review discusses a trilogy of books but we are mainly focused on the newest one Those Who Leave and Those Who Stay. The story follows two women, childhood friends, who are from a crime ridden lower-class neighborhood in Naples Italy who are very opposite. Yet they are still very much bound to each other by a strong, unbreakable bond.

The art director and I was set on one of my first sketches from the start but I've been trying different characters and color scales and finally used on of Sophia Loren's photos as my muse.
Thank you Angela for the collaboration
