What I love most about book covers is that they can convey to you the flavor of the story. It is just a taste to convince the person looking at the illustration that the book is worth reading. As if it were an appetizer of something richer and more complex. This is a selection of the most recent book covers I have done. These are books of various types and therefore the images are also very different from each other but I hope you will enjoy this brief introduction.
