There are some books I evaluate for purchase because I know kids will pick up the book based on the cover alone. Kudos to @dcurtisstudio.bsky.social for a perfect example.

Just posted an in-depth breakdown of my package design for the Folio Society Limited Edition of Stephen King’s IT on Behance! Check out the link and see all my early concept sketches! www.behance.net/gallery/2399...
Knight of the God King by Lauren Blackwood This cover was an extra treat because i got to work with my old friend KerriResnick, who I met at my first job as a Junior Designer at St. Martin’s Press 10 years ago. Thanks for thinking of me Kerri! #bookcoverillustration
I recently had back surgery after I found out I had Caudia Equina Syndrome. Thankfully the surgery was a success and other than normal post op pains, my lower back pain was gone. At the hospital, I was asked to describe my pain A LOT which was difficult, but I think this illustration does it justice
I’m happy to finally be able to share my cover design for Evergreen by Buck Turner. Thanks to Erin Fitzsimmons for the amazing Art Direction! #bookcoverdesign
My killed poster illustration for the A Wrinkle in Time Musical. Wish it could have been the real thing, but happy I made it :) #posterdesign #musicaltheater #illustration
This may be the most beautiful sign I have seen at one of these (even though the subject matter is so ugly). The artist who painted it said she started it feeling angry and it was therapeutic. Especially love the bling. #HandsOffLA

For my freelancing friends out there; how do you start your morning on a big project day?
I've built a machine that can be Confidently Wrong. It can also make pictures that all look a bit the same, as well as make a video of you kissing any celebrity or person you know. In payment, I'd like to boil the world's oceans dry, & steal all literature. For some reason, my head is not on a spike
The best metaphor is of two parents competing for the affection of a child and one does the right thing for the child's health, the other lies to the child, lets them eat like sht, doesn't make them attend school, or do anything the kid doesn't want to do.
