Cover Design
I also do cover design, although I have to stress that I am not an illustrator, but rather a composite imager. I’m good at finding images and using them to produce a striking design… but don’t ask me to draw anything, hah!
Actually I can draw, but art is one of these things you have to keep doing in order to be really good at it and so it’s best left to those who do it all the time.
Although an unexpected surprise, I am nevertheless delighted to have found out that the cover I did for Brian’s wonderful novel ‘Purple Death’ won an award! A big thanks to everyone who voted for Purple Death, it feels fantastic!
