I’ve got about a million things to do, and that doesn’t count the impending arrival of baby #3 or a ground-shaking realization that one of my fellow authors put me onto late last night, but I just had to stop for a second and show you all a bit of art that Katie made a little while ago.
We’ve been struggling to find a scene break graphic that would work for the last three series of books that we haven’t managed to get squared away in print, and this was one of the options that she came back with. I suspect that it’s not going to work because of limitations with our printer, but I think it’s absolutely stunning.
As with most of what we do, it’s stock art that she’s modified, but I say that only to give credit to whatever artist did the original bit that we purchased so that Katie could work her magic, not to discount Katie’s talent or hard work. I think that her changes have made the art even better, and it reminds me once again just how impressed I am with what she does.
Truth be told, I’m more than a little jealous sometimes that she works in a medium that can have such an immediate impact. It took me all of a tenth of a second to know that I loved these wings!
I wish I could do art like that. It is great.
I’ll pass on your praise, Carol! Katie had a really great piece of art to start out with, but I’m really thrilled with the tweaks that she made to it. 🙂
Thanks for taking the time to stop by!

HATS OF TO KATIE. SHE’S DONE A FABULOUS JOB. IT LOOKS LIKE A PROFESSIONAL ARTIST DID IT NOT A CHILD. i AGREE IT TOOK 1 LOOK TO DECIDE I LOVED THEM TOO.
WELL DONE KATIE I GUESS WE KNOW WHERE YOUR TALENTS LIE.

So very sorry about my mistake thinking Katie was your daughter instead of your wife. No wonder the artwork was so good. the rest of the comment stands though she’s brilliant. Best of luck with the new baby.

No worries, Desley–it’s hard to keep everyone straight and you don’t even have the benefit of having faces to put with the names I toss around in my blog and emails. 🙂
I’ll pass your kind words on to Katie. Thank you as well for your well-wishes for the baby–we’re anxious for him to arrive!
All the best,
Dean
The wings look magical! Such a great job.
Thanks, Kerin. I’ll pass your praise on to Katie. Like all artists she occasionally needs a little validation. 🙂
Regards,
Dean
I loved it immediately.
Thank you for stopping by and for the kind words, Tina. I’ll definitely pass them on to Katie. 🙂
All the best,
Dean
They are beautiful I think it would be a great cover for a book.
Thanks, keep an eye out for Stone Heart when the paperback version goes live. 😉
