Carnivores and herbivores in the same kitchen? Oh, the humanity! Bridge the great divide, calm the clash of cultures, and stop the madness. This fun cookbook cover suffered a culture clash of it’s own as it navigated the design process.

This is a fun favorite—a son of the Lone Star state stumbles his way to the top of the wide world of sumo, finding love along the way. The book is an indie success, but was in need of a new look to help it find new audiences. Optioned for a film, the new trade paperback deserved a more grown-up cover, this time with a hint of exotic mystery and a bit more punch.
