'No Longer at Ease' is a new book cover for the Chinua Achebe series I've been working on.  The story deals with the main character being trapped in a web of corruption upon returning to his African hometown after studies in England.  I also did the hand lettering on the book title, a series of other sketches below.


"The second book in Achebe's "African trilogy": A classic story of personal and moral struggle as well as turbulent social conflict.  When Obi Okonkwo—grandson of Okonkwo, the main character in Things Fall Apart—returns to Nigeria from England in the 1950s, his foreign education separates him from his African roots.  He's become a part of a ruling elite whose corruption he finds repugnant.  Forced to choose between traditional values and the demands of a changing world, he finds himself trapped between the expectations of his family, his village, and the larger society around him."
