I'm currently working on a series of book cover illustrations as part of my senior thesis, focusing on classic American texts. The Crucible by Arthur Miller is one of my favorite plays, and I couldn't think of a better one to kick off the body of work. As many of you probably already know, the story's plot centers around the Salem Witchcraft Trials of 1692, so, in this illustration, I wanted to make sure that the proper mood and mystery of old New England and Salem Village was evoked.
