Cover art for Alice Sabo’s “Desperate Measures”
Here is the front cover artwork for Desperate Measures – book five of Alice Sabo’s Changed World Series.
This cover was an enjoyable challenge. Alice had a rough idea of the kind of thing she wanted, but wasn’t sure how or even if it would work as a book cover, so that’s when it fell to me to come up with an atmospheric and thought provoking image, that would also sit comfortably alongside the other books in the series.
With most of Alice’s previous covers, I have always worked up one or two rough sketches beforehand, whereas with this one, I launched straight into the actual artwork.
Desperate Measures is out now – check out Alice’s blog for further information.
Cover reveal – Pillar of Frozen Light
Barry Rosenberg’s science fiction epic Pillar of Frozen Light is due to be unveiled this weekend at Novecon (the UK’s longest-established science fiction convention), by publisher Guardbridge Books.
The story has been described as character-driven journey from self-indulgence to enlightenment, and follows Jonan, a man driven by his desire for a remarkable woman, pursued by a shadowy menace, and intrigued by mysterious pillars found on distant worlds that hint at a knowledge way beyond human understanding…
The brief for this project was to convey that traversal of space and alien vistas alongside the story of desire, and the strange, ominous pillars of light that form the core of the story.
My cover art for Pillar of Frozen Light will also feature in the Novacon art show.

Cover Reveal: No Space for Justice
I have just completed the cover art for No Space for Justice, by William N. Gilmore – and here it is.
The story sees Earth’s best homicide detective shipped off to a strange alien world with no police, courts or crime, to solve an 800-year-old murder, and it was crucial to get a feel for this in the cover art.
Stay tuned for more details about the book’s release this coming December, plus a look at the back cover illustration…
The Sleeping Dragon
This week, my latest cover art was unveiled – a full cover wrap for The Sleeping Dragon, a fantasy comedy by Jonny Nexus.
This is probably among a minority of fantasy books with “dragon” in the title, but no dragon in sight on the cover, and there is a good reason for this – but you’ll just have to investigate the book when it comes out, to discover why!
Jonny was keen to show two times within the cover; a lush, Tolkeinesque landscape of the past, intersected with a glimpse of the future metropolis that would be built on the same land. Showing the future vision via a crystal ball conveyed the magical, fantastical element that we wanted.
I also created a short animated visual for the cover, which Jonny has used in his own cover reveal video…

Alice Sabo – High Barrens
One of my most recent cover illustration projects was for Alice Sabo’s new fantasy High Barrens, the first book in Sabo’s new Tales of Haroon series.
Alice wanted to capture the essence of the mystical world in which this coming-of-age story is set, but at the same time capturing the sense of journey and adventure.
Here you can see my initial concept sketch and the final artwork for the front, back and spine.
