For his jacket design for the latest book by Canadian novelist Mona Awad, Oliver Munday unearthed the 1972 Letraset classic Lazybones. Patrick Sullivan provided art direction.

Rouge was published by Marysue Rucci Books, an imprint by Simon & Schuster, in September 2023. From the publisher’s description:

Snow White meets Eyes Wide Shut in this surreal descent into the dark side of beauty, envy, grief, and the complicated love between mothers and daughters. With black humor and seductive horror, Rouge explores the cult-like nature of the beauty industry—as well as the danger of internalizing its pitiless gaze. Brimming with California sunshine and blood-red rose petals, Rouge holds up a warped mirror to our relationship with mortality, our collective fixation with the surface, and the wondrous, deep longing that might lie beneath.
