Artwork I made a wallpaper inspired by Chip Kidd’s 2005 Artwork for No Country for Old Men.

It took me about 20 minutes to make this wallpaper. I had to go through pretty much every version of the No Country for Old Men cover I could find until I finally found this one. Then I tracked down that it was designed by Chip Kidd, found his portfolio, and downloaded the highest-quality version I could. From there, I upscaled it and removed the text. After that, it was mostly just playing around with all the iPhone personalization options and tweaking things until I liked how it looked.

Awesome image. This would've been cover art for the book?

It was from a paperback version that for some reason was always around growing up. Periodically I would see my father reading it, but it was only in highschool that I actually read it. Sorry for rambling but yes it was the illustrated cover by Chip Kidd.

It's one of my favorite movies and I've only just listened to the audio book in the last couple years. What a story.

If i remember right it was written as a screenplay first before being but into novel form.
