Covers covers covers. Or I dunno license them as a poster. I am going to start screen printing these soon. Especially the 2 color orange crowd.

New covers this week. Knight of Knumbers, Death from Earth, Refugees etc.

I suppose when my contract runs out for my current shop site and sales remain non-existent I'll close it down and Just use it for portfolio stuff. Or run my site on my own server.

Some Ebook covers. I took a break from doing them. Not that anyone is really clammering for them. More just a proof of style.

the blind men was from a print that I had hanging in a cafe in Border's Books & Music in like 95.

New Ebook covers. No text as some have suggested. The dog walker is in the 90s somewhere and about 35 years out of my preferred look. Nearing my low goal of 100 of these.

People suggested coming up with titles or taking off the text. I may redo with titles of pointlessness but sans text for now.

Even if you don't buy anything take a look at the cover section. Its worth the duration of a cigarette to peruse.

Some from today's coloring of 1500 black and white images of mine. Its soothing if not really monetarily a good use of my time.

Reworking some old Ebook Covers.

Usually do five images in a group and post 3. The other two just sit on the site hanging out waiting to be loved. You can't save everyone. jefthompson.com
