Doesn't everyone enjoy design book covers for their fictional book featuring none other than hard drinking human/goat hybrid biker Glen Fandango? Here's the only excerpt I've actually written from 'The Wild One':
In the silence that blossomed you could have heard a pin drop. No one knew quite what to say. It wasn't so much that they couldn't comprehend the words more that they were agog at the person who was presenting them. Glen Fandango stood a shade over 7ft tall (including his horns) and was dressed in the leathers of a now defunct biker gang. He glanced round the puzzled faces and repeated his question 'Can I get a beer please?' The lady behind the bar was the first to gather her wits and she pivoted towards the beer tap with a glass in her hand without either taking her eyes off him or saying a word.
As he waited for the beer he casually surveyed the other people in the bar before adding 'I'm also looking for a bit of information. Does anybody here know an Alice Gerhardt?' With that pronouncement the temperature in the room dropped a further few degrees as it would seem he had struck a nerve. Perfect, that was just what he wanted. Glen smiled. Not that you'd know it though as his goat face was largely inscrutable to the average person. It would seem that he was in the right place after all.
Glen had not had an easy life but it's not all been his fault. Ever since his 'father' rescued him from a government lab in North Korea and escaped across the border to the south with the infant in his arms people have been pointing and whispering. A small measure of fame followed his arrival in Seoul and within a few years they had been invited to the USA to start a new life.
As a young kid, whilst his father continued his work in genetics for the US Department of Defense, he was relentlessly teased until his tormentors learned the hard way that the horns on his head weren't just for decoration. This, in turn, led to an early involvement with the police. It's one of the few relationships he's managed to successfully maintain over the years. By the time his father died he was an angry young man with a chip on his shoulder and the face of a goat. The next decade was an epic spiral of booze, bikes and bad decisions. It was only after hitting rock bottom that he managed to come to terms with himself and emerge, not entirely unscathed, on the other side. Nowadays he's (more or less) working on the side of the angels and if you can find him and convince him your case is worthy he is, without doubt, the best manhunter on the planet...
And that's what I've got. Along with my carefully designed biker patch for his now defunct biker gang and his likeness sprayed on the side of an abandoned van. You can make the rest up yourself...
Cheers

Nothing like a snappy title! Just to add to the banner the sub-titling reads Agriculture, horticulture, stock-breeding, research - so it is fair to say I think we know what goes on between these covers! The magazine had been founded under its 'long' title in 1874 and had started to lead with 'Sport & Country' in 1945. A last change came in 1957 to 'Farm and Country' before it ceased publication in 1970.
The cover is remarkably traditional - hardly surprising given its subjects and readership - with the unsigned artwork banner and the six adverts carried, above and blow the title. There's a good mix of once well-known brand names, such as McVities & Price biscuits and Cerebos Salt, and a grand array of layouts, tyoefaces, lettering and graphics.
Kassten Alonso's debut novel Core, a neo-Faulknerian reading of the Hades/Persephone myth. Pinch opened up its Gothic trick bag (Victorian Bible, engravings of dead beetles, etc.) and created an obsessive collage around a portrait of a muddy bathtub (mud and bathtub being big components of the story).

My latest book cover design for my good friend, Merry Farmer.
This one is the third full length novel in her historical romance series set in 19th century Montana. The first two are Our Little Secrets and Fool For Love. There's also a novella called Sarah Sunshine. I designed the covers for all of them as well.

A charming - if sightly menacing - pierrot drawing attention to the north east coast of England as a holiday playground - the area served by the North Eastern Railway and stretching down from Northumberland to Yorkshire. The bracing resorts such as Whitley Bay, Scarborough and Filey were heavily promoted by the NER. This booklet was issued, I suspect, on an annual basis, with a different cover for each year. The NER's "Literature for Tourists" was an extensive list and it heavily influenced the new LNER that the company was subsumed into in the Grouping of 1923.

First cover reveal of the year...
...although this was actually shot last year. In bitter cold and rain. Cover art is for Richard Parker's 'Stalk Me' as published by Exhibit A Books. Thanks go to those who helped in making this happen: Asia Bochenek (thank you for being such a trooper in the rain & cold and a fantastic model!), David Cooke, Jessica Meyer-Rassow and of course Sabel Studio-Blanco in Oxford (thanks for letting me shoot with your MarkIII & sorry for getting those strobes wet...). This will be out in all good book stores and the usual digital outlets on the 6th of March in the UK, and 27th of Feb in the US/CAN.

Translated as "Fritz Deelman and the Ships from Mars", number one in a series of eight books first published in 1956.
Fritz Deelman is a futuristic James Bond-type character, created by South African author Leon Rousseau, who works for the South African Police and does undercover work for the government.
I absolutely loved these books as a kid, as well as this cover art from the 1974 series reprint by Helmut Starcke.

The old Metropolitan Borough of Fulham (that existed from 1900 until merger in 1965 with Hammersmith to create the current London Borough) had an active interest in housing, both development and improvement, through both the Council's officer of Health and local amenity groups. During the period c1928 - c1935 they appear to have held an annual Housing Week and this is the cover to the 1930 event designed by Miss M S Proctor. The design was chosen to appear in an advertising competition so I trust this was the actual booklet cover issued.

Of all the many wonderful German typefounders of the twentieth century I do like the works of the Bauer Type Foundry and this is the cover of a leaflet folder that contains three wonderful small periodicals from 1931 that detail the use of the company's many excellently designed printing types. The Weiss family of typefaces, named after the designer Emil Rudolf Weiß, was issued by Bauer in 1928 and was originally known as Weiß-Antiqua, with the italics as Weiß-Kursiv, being better known as Weiss Roman.
Sadly this was one of several items taken from my collection.
Last Friday, somehow I missed sharing this Jurassic edition of my Michael Crichton collection. I planned to post the photo as a tribute to the much anticipated movie adaptation of the sci-fi novels whose fourth installment was scheduled to premier on the 12th of June. Well, better late than never :-)
For the many years I've had these paperback copies, I have tirelessly relieved the thrills of the adventures. Bought separately, I think I was fortunate to stumble upon them in different stores and at different times.
The cover design of prequel, Jurassic Park, displays the portrait of a velociraptor (skeleton) with gaping jaws. Whereas, the sequel sports a hologram which displays the same raptor portrait or the head of a T-rex depending on the angle it is placed. The T-rex side is more graphic.
I don't even have summervacation yet, but already I got work done for coming schoolyear.
I designed this schoolplanner together with a colleague. It will be used by all the first graders
in 2010-2011.
