Note to potential new followers: I block what I view as “X-rated” accounts, because I don’t want my name on re-posts appearing in such contexts, but I do post art that others, perhaps, might view as “R-rated.” Which is to say, please do your research, i.e., browse the archive, before you sign up.

Some of my favourite covers from last year.
I try all year to do as little of these as possible (to concentrate all my time on making books), but at the end of the year, when I look back, I always wish I had done more of these.

I’m okay with LOLs, but LMAOs and LMFAOs are where I draw the line. They’re offensive. YMMV.

Did this a few years ago for @feralhouse. They are a publisher on the side of the angels, a safe haven for all Enthused Ones. And they grok Krampus, the Struwwelpeter of Christmas.

Valerie Taylor, “Stranger on Lesbos” (Crest, 1960). Labelled as “vintage sleaze” on one of those auction sites, “Stranger on Lesbos” is blessed with remarkably sensitive cover art by someone, I know not who.
