I was concerned that the Ralph Steadmanesque typeface on my previous design would present potential legibility issues, especially when shrunk down to a thumbnail for an Amazon search listing. This seems to solve that without going too conservative or generic.

No Instagram here....I'll just have to keep up with your SG page. Your blogposts have been pretty interesting thus far!

Still haven 't figured out how you have a husband! Lol
So, rather excitingly, I have been commissioned to produce cover art for a poetry book by a very talented writer called Mike Essig.

It's actually a phrenologist's head, @noteofstring. I love me some weird kooky science.

Thanks, @catdad. It's a great collection of poetry, so I feel very privileged to get the job of creating the cover. Also thrilled that a writer of this calibre has opted to publish through the indie press I work with.
Now let's put the clippers on that high shelf up there where I can't reach them.

Leave that head alone, to paraphrase Pink Floyd's lyric, Leave them kids alone. Not a grammatical tour de force, I grant you, but admirable sentiment nonetheless.
I wrote this piece about my last place of work. I escaped. Hope you do, too.

Brilliant delivery, though in addition to my appreciation of your succinct poem regarding the mundane incidences of daily work life it has served to rekindle my hatred of astronauts ;)
catdad:
Well done! And I even enjoy my office job. :P

I will most definitely be checking it out & kudos to him for shedding light on the drab situation the industry is in & to you for giving him much needed publicity on this site ;). Seriously though, If I have to come across another nauseating angsty young adult series I will snap.

Some of Chuck's other stories are pretty good as well. My personal fav is Invisible Monsters. Think the other is called Survivor.. Lullaby was not so good..

It sucks. I have it on good authority that he was an incredibly nice man.
I must confess, I'm not much of a fan of vampire fiction. There have been a few rare and gleaming exceptions, like I Am Legend by Richard Matheson or the character of Cassidy in Garth Ennis' delightfully debauched Preacher comic book series, but mostly it's a genre that's left me pretty indifferent.
