A SPELL FOR CHAMELEON (1978)
Acrylic on Illustration Board - 30" x 20"

Most readers will remember my work with Piers Anthony on the Incarnations of Immortality, but covers for a couple of Xanth novels came first. 1/3

Wearing a short green tunic with yellow accents and matching boots, a blonde man casually converses with a manticore. They stand in front of an ornate archway barred by a gate. The manticore has the body of a lion with red fur fullest at its bushy mane, which notably recedes over a broad forehead, leaving just a tuft curling there. Dragon wings unfurl on its back and a scorpion tail curls behind it. The face is a mix of human and alien, from long ears pointed outward to pronounced simian-like muzzle topped with a stubby nose. High carved cheeks and a brow that casts its eyes in shadow suggest a sense of power, mystery, and wisdom as it listens to the man's appeal.

DESCENT (1989)
Acrylic on Canvas - 28” x48”

When I was asked to do a new cover for Ray Bradbury's classic THE MARTIAN CHRONICLES, I reread it and found I was deeply moved by the sense of inevitable tragedy that permeates the first half of the book. 1/4

Photo of a white dude's hand (who might it be!) holding a small zine. On the cover is a giant blackbird in pink and blue, a car in it's beak, it says „Blackbird Tidies Up!“ next to it.

And now the most important thing:

If you're an Adobe Illustrator, Inkscape, Figma or similar program user, what are the most important features that even the most basic app needs for you to consider trying it?

Q: Do you have any experience in creating something similar?

I have created a very barebones vector graphics editor in the past. While I probably will not use almost any of it's cod,e it proved to me that this is possible and it also showed me what not to do and how to do everything better.

Death in Front of the Tavern.
Alfred Rethel, from "Alfred Rethel; 16 Zeichnungen und Entwürfe" by Walther Friedrich, Mainz: 1907 #illustration #art https://www.oldbookillustrations.com/illustrations/death-tavern/

Death stands at the entrance of a tavern. Two glasses, reminiscent of a mountebank’s cups‑and‑balls trick, sit on the table before him as he addresses a captivated audience into believing that a crown and a tobacco pipe are of equal weight. An old woman with a walking stick is the only one who seems unimpressed, walking away from the scene with a small child.
The hat worn by Death is a Hecker hat, in reference to the 1848 Hecker uprising, an attempt to overthrow the monarchy. — Death stands at the entrance of a tavern.

CATSPAW (1988)
Acrylic on Resin Board - 30” x 20”

Sometimes a cover concept blazes into my internal vision while reading the book, and I know no other will do. Even after finding the best approach, I'll spend days trying to outdo it to make sure my first instinct was correct. 1/4
