I was told that this was one of the year's best sellers. The author, Richie Tankersley Cusick, thanked me for making her rich - she said it was the cover that did it. I got the usual fee. Some union we've got.
Born and raised in England - graduated Manchester College of Art and The Royal College of Art. Took the boat to the lowlands and illustrated (mainly airbrush) for most Ad agencies in Amsterdam, and a couple in Brussels, Belgium. Eventually moved to New York and happily produced hundreds of book covers (again, mainly airbrush, until I finally 'gave in' to Mac) for most publishing companies. I recently began painting 'in earnest', enjoying a little more freedom than one usually finds in the commercial world. Of course, I have no problem handling commissions for book covers that still come my way. Most of these were created on my imac.
