Featured Book – Danny’s Story – the artwork.

The cover for this book has been a bit of a problem. I wanted to use a painting of mine of the actual flat that I based the book on. The only problem was that I had already used the painting for The Book of Ginny.

This is the painting of the living room I wanted to use that had already been used on The Book of Ginny.

This is one of the bedroom that did not seem quite right for this book – not quite right for the image of the character Danny Champion. It was too soft and feminine..

This is the only other one I had from the flat. While it portrayed a view of the room it was not a very satisfying image.

So I had a think. I decided to combine two painting and thus create a different effect to that of the Ginny one.

I liked the effect.

There is a lot of controversy over my use of my artwork for my book covers. While they are rather unique there is a view that they are amateurish and do not give the impression of a well-written book. What do you think? Should I go for something more mainstream and professional looking?

This book took fifty years in the making.

New novel – Sorting the Future – potential cover – your views?

IMG_6503 IMG_6535

I was trying to imagine how these would look in a book cover shape – not all would show (ie – just the centre of the image) plus it would have the title across the middle.

Any views?

One, other or neither?
