From concept to the final outcome, I worked closely with Don't Break my Rice Bowl's team to create the book's cover, chapter illustrations and promotional items. I crafted the outcomes to speak to the unique combination of light-hearted adventure and the harsh reality of war themes the book explores.

 

Set during the Vietnam War, the book follows an agricultural advisor, named Eddie, who volunteers to help support the local Vietnamese as part of US President Johnson's 'Hearts and Minds' campaign. Initially drawn to the adventure and opportunity to make a positive difference, Eddie slowly begins to see just how horribly caught up he is in the war.
