Book Cover Illustrations

As a science fiction fan from way back, I’ve always loved robots. And I’ve been drawing them from about the time I could hold a pencil. The nice thing about robots (from an artistic standpoint) is that they can have an almost infinite variety from one to the next (think R2D2 to a CP3O). They […]

A. Martin’s novel Ouija is now in print. I went round and round with the cat’s fur. I eventually painted and layered so it looked right. The problem is that white hair needs to be defined by shadows. So what seems like a simple task becomes a major job in juggling levels of gray and […]

Jimm Grogan’s science fiction novel Negative Zero is now in print and available at Amazon.com. The print and iBook versions of it should be out next week. Creating the illustration for Grogan’s book was a lot of fun because one of the characters is a lot like an Earth octopus — with hair and the […]

Got word that Michael Leo Samuel’s A Shepherd’s Song: Psalm 23 and the Shepherd Metaphor In Jewish Thought is now in print. The illustration was pretty straight forward. Samuel found a work I’d done previously, and he told me what other features were needed. From there I created the illustration and it was “good to […]

I took a bit different direction than I normally travel with this cover illustration which I created for the first book in Linda Franklin’s On a Wing and a Prayer inspirational stories series. This first book, Just a Little Higher, is a collection of true short stories (and is published by Inspiring Voices). I also […]

My new illustration for an upcoming special edition of Amazing Stories. The short story this artwork illustrates is set at the Mars polar cap, and deals with the solution the main character devises to get her friend and herself out of harm’s way. On a personal note, it’s hard to describe what a thrill it […]

I recently created some additional illustrations for the paperback version of my science fiction novel Lesser Gods. Without further ado, here are a few of them: You can read a sample chapter from Lesser Gods at Amazon.com. =============================== And a few reviews of Lesser Gods: Could become a sci-fi classic By Levmark on January 23, […]
