Penguin Unveils New Artist-Designed Book Covers



American Smoke by Iain Sinclair, cover by Nathan Burton



Penguin Books is partnering with Amsterdam-based WeTransfer to unveil its new book covers exclusively through the file transfer website.



The covers were designed by 10 artists, including ROA, gray318, Nathan Burton, Sickboy and 45rpm for its ‘Street Art Series’ which was launched last year.



Five book covers have been unveiled so far, including The Embassy of Cambodia by Zadie Smith and And the Ass Saw the Angel by Nick Cave. The second series is slated to premiere later this summer.
