01 Book Covers for Sci-Fi Series
THE BLUE MOON
Some time ago during an exceptionally cold spring Nolan Bauerle contacted me to work on his sci-fi novel series "The Blue Moon". With a s hared love for the illustrator Moebius, I knew we would be a good match. Since the story itself takes inspiration from famed illustrator's drawings, I thought the style should too. I have always enjoyed working with different styles, and learning from them. This time I studied the master of line work, and found a style that works well with this series.

RAW ILLUSTRATIONS
The line art for the illustrations was created with an ink pen, then scanned and colored digitally. Drawing on rough textured paper is a personal favorite of mine. I could have done the whole process digitally, but I never pass up the chance to throw some lines down on a paper if I can help it. Below are the full illustrations for each book cover.

THE BLUE MOON
2015
This was a ton of fun, special thanks to Nolan for choosing me for this project. Whether it's design, or illustration, or music, I always like to think I'm a storyteller first. This time around I enjoyed bringing forth the vision, and the story of someone else through my illustrations, it wouldn't have been possible if the original content wasn't strong. It also helps that Sci-fi is my favorite genre.
It is a 4 part series, filled with excitement, innovative and thought provoking concepts, and a sense of adventure. Give it a read if you get the chance!
