"A thing that I'm really thinking about is the holistic quality of the game. This is a game that, even if you don't ever actually get a group together to play it, it enriches your life and it provides you with meaning and you can sit down with it and engage with it."

Book Cover Artists, quote repost with your book covers.

Two commissions and two from a passion project, because those count too 📚

(One of my current commissions is also a full dust jacket that I can't wait to show you 🤩)

Blue and white cover illustration for The Stygian Library cover. It shows an entrance with bookshelves on either side and scrollwork at the top leading to a long hallway with more bookshelves on either side and a closed double door at the end.

A book cover illustration with gold scrollwork border and a black background. In the centre is an illustration of a raven skull with 3 feathers and a gladioli stem with red flowers.

A Vampire The Masquerade book cover illustration in red and black. It has a black scrollwork border with some of the scrollwork shaped like fangs. Title is placed in centre in red with a single red blood drop underneath.

Illustration of Call of Cthulhu book cover. It shows flowers and tentacles in a symmetrical pattern on a starry background. Title in a cursive style sits in the top part of the cover.
