The cover of My Second Dumb Book! "True Color: The Strange and Spectacular Quest to Define Color—from Azure to Zinc Pink" in black text on a beige ground, surrounded by multicolored...cards? books? it's not clear and I love that.

Character design commission: a lithe character, mid-dance, in a position that invites the viewer to join in. He's wearing a luxurious outfit that is a mix of noble European 18th century clothing, with Chinese embroidery. The clothing is blue and teal, with gold and cream details, flower, trees and phoenix patterns. She has light purple skin, long dark hair collected in a braid and a lovely smile on her face.

A watercolor arranged into five rectangular panels. In one panel a large bear sits in the sea, a lighthouse on his back. In another panel a fox stands on the shore, looking at toward the lighthouse. Two of the panels are underwater views, filled with fish. The last panel is of the sky, a crescent moon and stars hanging from string.
