Book Cover Illustrations

I recently had a shot at a new mythology series and needed to put together a portfolio keyed to Greek myths. Unfortunately I came up one picture short, and so hurriedly considered what might be a good subject for a new painting to include in the mix. I’ve always loved the story of Perseus and […]

Yesterday I received an advance copy of Assassin and Other Stories by Steven Barnes. Yes, I did the cover illustration for this title. The book is being offered by the ISFiC Press, and they’ve done one bang-up job on this book from the layout of the cover right down to the selection of type and […]

Here’s the book illustration I finished this week for the cover of Dale Allan’s crime novel It Could Happen to You. The author wanted a realistic picture of a lonely mountain road where a bit of violence takes place at the beginning of the story. My original layout had the limo grill facing the viewer […]

Yesterday I had a blast creating the various elements for the cover illustration of A. J. Vega’s A. I. Offspring novel. Shown here is the star drive engine (created by aliens in the story). The system centers around an artificial crystal “conduit” which houses an artificial intelligence consciousness. Since human technology tends to be symmetrical, […]

I received this good news that I thought I’d pass along (having done the book illustration for the cover of this title). And congratulations to Tom for penning a riveting story that garnered this recognition. ============================== Orlando, FL / October 27, 2010 – The Florida Writer’s Association announced that The Gaelic Letters has won second […]
