So it has to be photos? or drawings/illustrations by you? Not being completely sure I'll tell you my first thoughts, stream of conscious (a scary place, I know). What about a "......For Dummies" book. Even if it's illustration or design for dummies. Or maybe the evolution of drawing but something really lighthearted that includes hieroglyphics, kid like drawings with big headed people with arms and legs sticking out of the head, a stick figure doodle, a rough nude stick figure, maybe a positive/negative photo with some drawing on it and then a really lush illustration. The front cover could be stick figures/kid like/black and white, the back cover really lush and detailed and color. Again, stream of conscious but that's what I got after one cup of coffee and it's barely 9AM on a Friday.

Love and a hug,
