I had the great honor of redesigning the outer
sleeves for Last Gasp's 2016 Kickstarter campaign edition of Keiji
Nakazawa's "Barefoot Gen". The first four volumes were released in
hardcover form to backers, and donated to libraries and schools. Soon after,
the entire series was updated with hardcover and softcover versions.
For these covers, I scanned-in many interesting and emotional panels from my
copies of the 1985 run of the Japanese edition. My books are old and weathered,
and I decided to retain that for the images in my final design(hence the back
cover of volume 3 having some damage, for example.) For the logo, I made that in
sumi ink with a large brush.
