Book Cover Reveal!
🕑 Added 2025-05-01 12:28:33 +0000 UTCThe bad news: The cover was not accepted. Ah, well, I got paid for my time.
The good news: At least I can still share it with you fine folks!
The cover was to be for a book of poetry from an Indian author and thus features Nepalese bees, a Himalayan horse, and rhododendrons. One of the poems combined all of the above, and so I attempted to do the same.
I had a tight deadline to meet, so I kept the color scheme minimal to speed things up.
The finished piece. There were actually several more requested changes after this, but this is my preferred version. Let me just say, I'm darn proud of those bees!
I need to quit accepting super-secret projects, as it makes the "creation" part of "content creator" rather a challenge! I thank you for your patience on this piece and this week, when I've been working on yet another super-secret project. This one had a deadline of late July, but everything and everyone came together this past week to make it happen ahead of schedule. I've had to drop and reshuffle darn near everything to be available for this community endeavor, which I'm deeply excited about. I'm also exhausted. :P
Lastly, come this June's Solstice gifts, several of you will receive double to make up for the abyss that has become the nearest postal depot. I have inside intel as to why things keep disappearing/sitting for weeks at a time, but suffice to say, it's irksome for all concerned! It will be made up to each and every one of you.
Lastly lastly, can you believe it's May?!
Be well and wonderful, dear friends!
