Book Cover Art for Martin Wilsey’s Science Fiction Novel

The cover (above) of Martin Wilsey’s new science fiction novel Still Falling. This cover layout is a beautiful example of how cropping can make a dramatic change in the impact of an illustration. While I created the artwork for this cover, I didn’t do the layout — and am quite jealous of the work (ha). Here’s […]

Some New Science Fiction Illustrations

Here are several illustrations I’ve completed the last few days (and soon to go to my Premade Science Fiction Book Cover Artwork site). The one below is a retro-rocket ship, similar to the rocket logo that often graced the spine of science fiction novels in many public libraries when I was a kid — so […]

Dawn of the Mad Is Now In Print

I received word that Brandon J. Huckabay’s science fiction novel Dawn of the Mad is now available in paperback and Kindle formats. Yes, that is a zombie soldier on the cover. (And, yes, I did the illustration.) These guys figure in the story. The novel is a real page-turner. Here’s the blurb: Awakening of the […]

Janet and Chris Morris’ Sacred Band

I was thrilled to see my illustration of a period-piece Greek helmet appearing at Amazing Stories in an excerpt from Janet and Chris Morris’ Sacred Band. You can find the excerpt here. While the story is science fiction/fantasy, it is based on an actual period in Greece. So to create the picture, I had to […]

White’s Spirit of Empire trilogy. And, yes, the author had kindly signed each one. And it goes without saying that I’m pretty […]

Yesterday the cover for best-selling author John Phillip Backus’ science fiction novel Jen of Earth was completed. The book is the first of a series of sci-fi adventures. The cover illustration was created by combining elements of two previous digital paintings I’d created which the author had selected as models for his cover. The two […]

Odds and Ends: Book Cover Illustrations & Artwork

I’ve done a number of book covers the last few months that were pretty straight forward and thus no stories to tell (or tall tales to make up… even the flying monkeys are stumped). So I thought I’d just list/show them here without further ado. First, the dust jacket version of P. J. O’Dwyer’s Relentless: […]
