Not my usual style but after talking with Mitch, I was excited to work on this one.

This concept ended up missing the story. But it was too cool not share.

Another concept that didn’t make the final cover.
The piece was solid but the tone didn’t match the story.
That’s part of the cover design process.

YA like this isn’t my usual lane, but I enjoyed working on this one.
Different audience.
Different tone.
Different visual language.
Always fun stepping outside the usual fantasy/scifi trenches.

The Design code I live by:
Sell to your reader.
Tell your story.
Yell clearly.
In that order!

Writers, I have a question.
When you finish your first draft…
Is it ugly
or clean?

Not every concept makes the final cover.
This piece was an early direction for a recent project.
The artwork worked but it didn’t quite capture the spirit of the story.
That’s part of the process. Thought it was too cool not share!

The first proof isn't always on the mark. That's okay. First proofs tell us what's working and what's not.
proof, adjust, refine.
That’s how strong covers are made.

SPFBO is officially underway — 300 entries this year.
I’ve got five covers in the mix that span my career. Greencloak was done 2016. Plague Maiden 2025.
Always fun seeing my covers out in the wild. Good luck to every author competing.

Cover Design Tip #1
It’s a promise to your reader that signals genre, tone, and story.
Readers will decide in less than second.

A piece I created a couple years back, client disappeared on me. Its floated around my desktop since then.
Still proud of the mood, motion, and brutality in this one.
