| | Today, Lucy assigned me to work on a new cover for Sketches of Home by Suzanne Clark. I really like doing book covers, honestly. But just as honestly, they don't come naturally to me. Rachel Hoffmann can whip them out like you wouldn't imagine, and David Dalbey has got concepts that won't stop, but . . . I'm a little more scatter-brained. I find it wickedly difficult to make the cover tell a story. Torn between illustrating a tiny, close-up "character sketch" of some chapter or an elephant-boned, broad brush "plot" view, I get confused, press all the wrong buttons, and ultimately have to use the ejection seat. Still, like I said, I really enjoy it.
And, as promised posts ago, a tattered quilt of Miniatures and Morals covers, attempting to explore different aspects of the book, all in various stages of undress and rejection. I couldn't find all of them, but enough is enough.
