The Gnostic Gospels Book Jacket

A striking modern jacket for Elaine Pagels’ 1979 work the Gnostic Gospels. This personal project catches the eye and conveys the book’s theme by depicting Jesus and the Gnostic demiurge Yaldabaoth as two sides of the same coin.

Jacket illustrations were created by me.
