My Musings for the Week...
Its Monday again, so I decided that I would participate in Musing Mondays this week. So today I’m musing about cover art. This year I have seen some spectacular cover art for serval books, like Ten Thousand Skies Above You by Claudia Gray and Shadow Scale by Rachel Hartman. (I haven’t read these books, I might not, but the covers are nice.) It got me thinking about some of my favorite artist. Some of which include Michael O, John Harris, and Stevie Lewis.
John Harris has done some of my favorite covers, because honestly I like his style of art. Some of his art has been featured on novels by Ann Leckie and John Scalzi.
This next one shouldn't come as much of a surprise, but I had to mention her. You know, Mary GrandPré, she illustrated Harry Potter. I don’t even think I can further explain this one, so I’ll leave it at the fact that her art is fantastic.
The next artist that I want to mention is Adam S. Doyle. I actually really like his covers for The Raven Cycle Series & the Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater.Stevie Lewis illustrated one of my favorite books this year, Finding Serendipity, so it’s easy to see why I’m a fan of her artwork.
Really, I could go on and on, so I’m just going to leave it at that for today. So what are some of your favorite books covers?
Those are great covers! I would be hard pressed to think of favorites right now...but I know them when I see them. Thanks for visiting my blog.
ReplyDeleteI don't know any of the individual artists that make covers.
ReplyDeleteTheir names aren't usually stated, but I took the time to look up who did what cover since I was interested in their art. Thanks for stopping by! :)
