Thanks for the kind words about book illustrators – it is nice to know some folks can see the advantage of a quality illustration over a photo.

One of the nice things over the last few years is that the explosion of self publishing has brought a new demand for illustrators. Over half my book cover illustration work now consists of creating book cover artwork for self-publishing authors and small presses. Nice.

I recognize the first unnamed Peter Ferguson cover from Egmont’s upcoming Edison’s Gold by Geoff Watson. Great post!

Some of these covers are absolutely gorgeous – thank you for posting these.

I applaud your comments about the variations on themes and increasing and unimaginative use of photography for book cover designs for young adult fiction. You would expect different. Sadly though the same seems to be the case for crime, thriller and horror fiction book covers (think dark alleys, man/woman running away, city skyline/blood red sky).

Blake Crouch gave me the opportunity to illustrate/design a series of covers for his short thriller and horror stories. Follow the link and you’ll see most of them, and some other work.

Tristan, I found most of those covers you mentioned but not the Indian in the Cupboard ones. Send me a link and I’ll add ‘em right quick.

Don’t forget Peter Ferguson — he’s got a bunch, including the latest Sisters Grimm and Enola Holmes books.
