Black Beast – Coming to a Refrigerator Near Me
filed in Book Cover Illustrations and Artwork on Aug.22, 2011
Rob Guthrie’s Black Beast: A Clan Of MacAulay Novel arrived today. The colors turned out beautifully with my book cover illustration (that’s not always the case and it’s a thrill when the print looks as good or better than the screen version of the artwork). And I appreciate the author taking the time to sign it as well.
Rob also included some refrigerator magnet promos with the cover printed on them. I can’t get over how nice the printing is on those as well. Given that my face served as a model for one of those on the cover (won’t say which face) one magnet will go to our refrigerator where it can scare vermin out of the kitchen.
This novel promises to be a great read. For your copy, visit Amazon.com. If you enjoy horror and mysteries, you’ll like this book.

I found your blog through Google and am amazed at the wonderful book covers you’re creating. This (and all your other) illustrations are simply incredible. Such extraordinary talent is rare these days, and an author would be smart to be ahead of the pack by putting your artwork on his/her cover.

That’s a really scary cover but I love it, it’s so effective. I’m so impressed with how you design book covers. Keep it up! :)

I appreciate the kind comments about my illustration. I have more fun creating book covers than should probably be legal.
