at the beginning of last year i was commissioned to create a series of three book covers for christopher pike and was completely ecstatic about it. i've blogged the photos of the book covers before but if you can't remember just search for "the last vampire by christopher pike" and the lovely connie will come up :)
after the three book covers, i was asked to create two more with a different character. i found the amazing lexi who i thought was perfect for it (and she was) and we created the above photo for the latest last vampire book. the picture above is my personally-retouched version, and below is the further edited photo for the actual cover according to their specifications. another book is still to come but i can't say what picture is on the cover yet!
it is really great when someone buys one of my photos from my portfolio to be the cover of a novel, but it is even more amazing and fun for me to be given an outline and to need to create an image or a series of images to be the cover of some really awesome books!
that must be insanely awesome, i can't imagine how it is, walking into a book store and seeing your photos on the cover of the books! haha, i'd be fainting of joy.. i'm glad that your hard work is working out for you though, you really deserve this!
ReplyDeleteoh my goodness, it is absolutely amazing. every time i walk into a bookstore and see a whole bunch of them together i have to take a picture of it! people look at me like im funny, little do they know those are my pictures :P
ReplyDeleteWow! Congratulations on this. Much deserved, it's a great shot.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of book covers, I'm on the original cover of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. My friends Olive and Rose took the picture (a Polaroid, actually) but the book cover people really messed up the photo with Photoshop by coloring the bed I was laying on RED. They even carelessly lopped off a bit of my chin. They completely ruined the photo. Then they changed the cover to its current design. I own a copy of it, but keep it hidden, it's so hideous! Heh.
Happy day to you,

ReplyDeletethank you so much everyone! it definitely was an amazing opportunity, glad you guys think so too :)
ReplyDeleteand brittany, that's crazy that they just used your photo without permission or anything? or even if they did have permission, they can't just chop and play around with someone's photo like that! well, at least its good that they changed it since you didn't like it.
HELLS YES!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I'll ever be able to thank you enough for hiring me for this, I can't stop grinning every time I walk past it in the bookstore!
