  5. THE SNOW QUEEN (1988)
    Acrylic on Panel - 36” x 24”

    Though the cover illustration by Leo and Diane Dillon on the first edition of The Snow Queen, by Joan D. Vinge, was excellent, Warner Books decided to commission me to do a new one.

    Perhaps the sequel was in the works, and they wanted a consistent style on the covers of the two volumes. 1/4

  13. 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

    Joan Vinge provided plenty of inspiration in the pages of this book, and in fact, my first response was that there was way too much epic quality to capture in one illustration. 1/3
