the filmmaker and script writer alex r. johnson has written a novel. the book is called brooklyn motto and it is set in new york city back in 1998. the book details a few days in the life of a private detective called nico kelly. after recording something he shouldn't have recorded, nico finds himself caught like a fly in the corruption and malfeasance ridden web of new york's law enforcement community.
alex sent us a copy of the book and asked that we might design the cover for it. caspar read it and sent alex a few ideas. the final cover you see here is intended to be a bit cryptic, and only reveal its real meaning the deeper you get into the book.
the novel is out now through all major booksellers, and in fact you can order yourself a copy
here. alex also made a playlist of 90s music mentioned in the book and that inspired the book
here.
