New Graphic History

The next book I've illustrated for the Oxford University Press Graphic History Series has just been published. Witness to the Age of Revolution: The Odyssey of Juan Bautista Tupac Amaru, written by Charles F. Walker, tells the story of Juan Bautista Tupac Amaru, the half-brother of the leader of the Tupac Amaru Rebellion that took place in 18th-century Peru. Based on Juan Bautista's memoir, the graphic history follows his experience of decades as a prisoner of Spain on three continents during the Age of Revolution.
