This list features book covers illustrated by Baltimore-based artist Evangeline Gallagher. Their work features stark linework, stunning textures, and jarring imagery. From their website, "When they aren’t drawing they can be found volunteering with lizards and turtles at the National Aquarium, painting a mural with their friends at Upright Entity, or attending a DIY show in a warehouse somewhere. They possess the speed and enthusiasm of 10,000 illustrators."
