New, New, and….new!

by | Feb 28, 2012 |

If you hadn’t noticed, I did a lil revamping on the blog today. Trying a new theme, gave the header a lil boost to work with the new theme, and fixed up the “pages”.  I also added a new page, one just for the Pre-made Covers. I was afraid the post was going to get lost in the mix. I’ll probably be rearranging the images on the Photography and Digital Abstracts page in the next few days.

I already posted about the latest commissioned cover, but I also added a new $30 Pre-made cover. Simple, yet intriguing.

 

Vector Covers

by | Feb 23, 2012 | ,

Looking around my page, it’s probably pretty obvious I do a lot of photography or photomanipulation work. Most of the book covers I’ve done have been on that basis. But did you know, I also do vector drawings? (I also draw with a good old fashioned pencil and paper, and paint too…but shhhhh!!)

I know there are some authors out there who prefer a more classic, hand drawn artwork, versus the photoshopped cover work. In today’s day in age, yes, hand drawn can be done on the computer. All my vector images are hand drawn. There’s no stock or clipart involved. Just me, my mouse (need to get my tablet back!), and some software.

I have put together a Pre-made vector drawn cover to show as an example of my work. (For information on how to purchase Pre-made Covers click here)

If you have wandered over to my E-book & Print Cover Art Design tab at the top of this page, then you’ve probably noticed the price jump between a photomanipulation and a vector cover. Why you ask? Well, plain and simply, it takes me more time. I’m not working with stock images, I’m not taking bits and pieces of something already made to make something new. I’m starting from scratch.

New cover design done for “My Tiny Vegas” by Birdie Jaworski.

“Birdie Jaworski lives on the edge of the eastern plains of New Mexico, where the Sangre de Christo Mountains meet the Great Plains, smack in the middle of the town of Las Vegas. No – not the big City of Sin with the gambling strip! Las Vegas, New Mexico is not as well known as other Wild West towns, such as Dodge City, Deadwood, or Tombstone, but she is said to have been the worst of the rowdiest Old West towns. She’s still rowdy, still mysterious, still full of larger-than-life characters! Doc Holliday kept his medical office in Las Vegas, New Mexico. The Rough Riders held their first reunion in the saloon of the Plaza Hotel in Las Vegas. You can get a shot of tequila in that same saloon, today. Birdie wants to share her beautiful tiny Las Vegas with you…”
