Book cover designed with Adobe InDesign and Adobe Photoshop

Behind The Curtain: An Insider's View of Jay Leno's Tonight Show is a book cover that I designed at Pelican Publishing Company in 2014. This book came out today and I brought it to the library and took a few pictures of it on the shelf to give it a natural environment . . . placement near Love and Rockets was completely coincidental . . . yet awesome. I might post the entire dust jacket at some point but for now I thought that these two images wold be good. This book may be the best selling book we have had in some time at work you can order it from this link to Pelican Publishing Company. I do love to seeing my work in print it makes me feel like I did something important.

Elf

Elf was drawn on Canson XL Series using various ink pens and Copic Markers. Drawn in 2014.

This elf was an updated idea of a drawing I did a while ago (without looking at the original drawing). Again I went with the weird blank eyes but to be fair the original elf drawing had blank eyes too.

Punk Rocker

Punk Rocker was drawn on Canson XL Series using various ink pens and Copic Markers. Drawn in 2014.

I wanted to do a quick sketch of a punk rocker with a turtle neck. I thought that it would be kind of funny to have a punk rock guy in a turtle neck sweater. I've been going through a phase of giving drawings blank eyes . . . it's weird but I kind of like it. Below is a few photographs of the steps in the process of the drawing.

Ghost

Ghost was drawn on Canson XL Series using various ink pens and Copic Markers. Drawn in 2014.

I wanted to do a quick sketch of a ghost and this is what came out. I totally forgot to add in the chain that should be hanging on the other side of his arm (Oops!). Below is a few photographs of the steps in the process of the drawing. Simple but effective.
