Hey guys,

A few months ago, I did this cover for Tor. It's for an upcoming mash-up of Tom Sawyer and Zombies. I've read it, and it is every bit as awesome as it sounds.

I'm also doing several interior illustrations for the book in black & white.



Here are a couple of process pieces - the original sketch, which was drawn both in Photoshop and with Sharpie. The "red" colored version is another one I drew that I ended up abandoning.

And in other news, the PRINTS section of my site is now functional. If you want to order something for Christmas, be sure to make your purchase by Monday, December 18th.

Have a great week!

Here's a recent book cover I created for Irene Gallo of Tor Books.





The Point Man is the original story that came before my first job with Irene, The Long Man, of which I also did the cover for, earlier this year. Both novels were written by acclaimed comic book and screenwriter Steven Englehart.



An interesting thing that happened while working on this job was that I had to totally shift direction when it was about 80% complete, because the editor wanted some changes that would better reflect the story within. Fortunately, Irene let me take a couple weeks off to get the flaming magic skull version out of my system; I really doubt I could have done as good of a job if I had to immediately re-do the piece.









While I wasn't happy with that decision originally, I am glad that things turned out the way they did. This is my favorite cover to date, but I hope to top it in the near future!

Best,

frank
