Once again veering away from the realms of science fiction, all in the name of Paul Mathews’ latest comedy romp, A Very Funny Murder Mystery (available for pre-order here).
When asked to illustrate a victim lying face-down in a bowl of mango chutney and a smug detective named “Clinton Trump”, the end result could only look like this…
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…
