I was recently commissioned to do the cover of a novel by a local writer Named Jeremy Deconcini. This his his third book in the series about an ex FBI agent named Ben Adams. Jeremy is particularly proud of this book and said that it is his best work to date. I was honored when he asked me to work with him on a design.
This job was particularly fun. The first part was taking the photographs for the main character on the front. We drove to the desert and snapped a few good shots and then went on an awesome hike.
It isn’t often that a writer uses themselves as the cover art. This time though, I feel like it worked very well.
I then went to work collaborating with the author on what he wanted and we went through a series of drafts with the end result shown below. It was a great project and he and I are both happy with the result.
