Description:  Created in Adobe Illustrator, the blue color of the book and the red decorative trim colors were chosen to enhance the drawing of the Angel Raphael.  The white typeset of the title and author was chosen for its crisp clean look on the blue background.

I chose to illustrate this book with a drawing of the Angel Raphael mostly because he is one of my favorite Angels and also because he did walk among men ~ God sent him to be a companion and guide to the young Tobias ~ this beautiful story is told in the Book of Tobit in the Old Testament.
