    An expert book designer with fourteen years experience working with self-publishing authors and helping them create great looking books that people really want to buy. I enjoy all aspects of book design, but book interior design is my real passion as I have a special sense for shaping the perfect interior layout for each book. I am highly reliable and detail-oriented and closely follow the author’s requirements in order to bring his/her vision to life, but I’m also completely comfortable to work with little input and provide my own creative perspective. Client satisfaction and high quality work are my main priorities. Please check my portfolio for examples of book design, typesetting, and cover design.

    I've been a professional graphics artist/illustrator for over 20 years and have been designing creative, attention-grabbing book covers for authors (several of them repeat customers) since 2007. If you've written a book (fiction or nonfiction) and need a professionally designed cover then let's make it happen! I'm ready when you are. I'm also a cartoon illustrator. Cartoon illustration is a time-honored, tried-and-true way to attract attention for all kinds of topics and business messages. My clients for cartoon work have ranged from real estate agents to corporate leadership experts to authors of books on business-related topics to authors of joke books, authors of humorous novels and some clients have simply requested 1-off cartoons for personal projects. See some great examples of my cartoon work in my portfolio. Can I create a cartoon for your business or personal project? Of course! Contact me and let's get started! Here are some unsolicited comments from authors whose book covers I've had the privilege of designing: • Please pardon my French (and momentary lack of professionalism) but.... HOLY @!&!!! You hit it right on the mark!!!" - Tamara Mayo (CEO of Taevo Publishing and Author of Goddess of Flame) • "Thanks for a BRILLIANT job! I love your choice of printing machine illustration, the money in the jeans device, the typography, the overall colour scheme, and the total design concept. In a nutshell, it's utterly superb. You really are a graphics genius!" - Joey Moncrief (Author of The Money Press: A True Life Story) • "This is just outstanding. The whole layout is beautiful. My wife is just gushing over it. If I never sell a copy of the book, I'll buy the book myself so I can have the cover art to enjoy." - David Echeandia (Author of The Avatar of Calderia) • "Excellent Gary, you've rocked my world again. I love it. You are a genius!!" - Jason Blacker (Author of The Lady Marmalade Mystery Series, Dust On His Soul, Money Ain't Nothin', Black Dog Bleeding, First Feature, Head Rush, Livid Blue • "Your artwork is simply amazing! You really captured what I was aiming for. Thanks again!" - Mark Jarmon (Author of Monster Surf Tales and Other Poems & Stories) • "Hi Gary, thanks for the design. Really pleased with both. You have done a brilliant job." - Dave Williams (Author of Tubes, Retribution, The Conclusioner) • "Invasion From Fred is up on the Amazon site. Everybody's raving about the cover. So now I'm turning my attention back to Dog & Pony. I am putting this whole thing in your expert hands." - Richard Herr (author of Invasion From Fred, Tales from the StarBoard Cafe, and other titles) • "OMG, you are just so much AWESOMENESS!!! Thanks for all of these and especially for the 3D image with the jaguar, I love it!!!!!!!! I'm going to be happily and very proudly sharing it all over the interwebs this week!" - Rai Aren (Award-winning author of Secret Of The Sands, Destiny Of The Sands, Lost City Of Gold) • "Great job! Thanks for making the suggested modifications." - Richard Wesson (Author of Miss October Was A Friend Of Mine) • "Gary, you've done it! The cover is now just as I wanted it to be. Excellent! I wanted the cover to be as good as the one you did for Pilgrim's Banner, and you succeeded." - Tony Walker (Author of Pilgrim's Banner and Pilgrim's Trator) • "Wow. You hit it out of the ballpark on the first swing... again!" - Hank Quense (Author of Tales From Gundarland, Falstaff's Big Advenure, Zaftan Entreprenuers, Zaftan Miscreants, Fool's Gold, Tunnel Vision, Wotan's Dilemma, Marketing Plans For Self-Published Authors) • "Thanks Gary. Its awesome!" - M. R. Mathias (Author of Crimzon & Clover, The Wardstone Trilogy, The Dragoneers Saga, and many other titles) • "You're the best and made the book jump off the shelf!!" - Scott Adlai Stevenson (Author of Scoundrels In Paradise) • "The cover looks great and my cousin (the author) loved it!" - Anthony Policastro, Publisher and CEO, Outer Banks Publishing Group • "I love your covers, especially mine, Night Corridor. also Skye Dancer, Cold Case, Money Ain't Nothin'... But all your covers suit the particular book or story perfectly. You do excellent work, Gary." - Joan Hall Hovey (Award-winning author of Night Corridor, Chill Waters, Nowhere To Hide, Listen To The Shadows, The Abduction Of Mary Rose • "Holy moly - that is absolutely SPECTACULAR!!!! You always Blow. My. Mind. I love, love, love it!!!!!!!!!! (to infinity & beyond!!!!!) The layout, the dramatic effect, the overall stunning impression for an ancient Egyptian mystery is just perfection!!" - Rai Aren (Award-winning author of Secret Of The Sands, Destiny Of The Sands, Lost City Of Gold)

    "Art is not what you see, but what you make others see" - Edgar Degas. I have always felt, that is my mission. To create and bring to life the ideas and inspirations. I am Damian, an experienced Graphic Designer & Upwork Certified Illustrator. Over a period of 13 years, I was fortunate to collaborate with many - NFT's (Angry Pitbulls, Alien Rappers etc) Brands (Wornstar, Sav Tac, Spiral Direct etc) Bands (Sabaton, Slayer, Exodus etc). *Dark *cartoon/comic *hippie/colourful *patriotic *streetwear and *retro/vintage are the main themes I work on. Apparel designs especially t-shirt and hoodies and NFT's are the major chunk of those but I also do logos, comic/book illustrations, album covers, tattoos, wallpapers, posters, various merchandise etc as and when any exciting project comes up. I offer only original, high-quality, custom designs ready for commercial use in either vector/bitmap. Looking forward to making a difference and creating art that truly stands out and inspires.

    Hello! My name is Diana and I am a passionate digital illustrator and designer, eager to learn and explore the new possibilities of visual communication. My background as a professional fine artist taught me to solve creative problems taking in count research, concept development, designing and delivering final products that respond to certain goals: create a wide esthetic experience on the audience, communicating an idea or message. I love strong graphic styles but I can also produce very soft delicate minimalists styles. In my daily job at present, I create vectorial assets after beautified by textures and effects I get from pixels, I like the precision of the points and anchors and the plasticity of the pixels. The number one thing I love from my job is that technologies and possibilities are endless, my efforts are focused on bringing all these wonders together through my creativity.

    I'm an illustrator, art teacher and graphic designer with a wide experience in different projects where I try to mix my two passions: illustration and designing. My skills range from colourful modern digital designs to classic hand-drawn illustration, being the children theme my personal main interest. I truly believe that if the image I create provokes a warm and cherishing feeling, the text it illustrates not only grows into interest but it makes the whole experience of lasting emotion in the reader's heart. That is what I aim for: making a difference. I have expert skills in software as Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop and Corel Painter as well as in traditional art including watercolour, oil, colour pencils, pastel and others. My illustrations are mostly painted digitally but I never lose my roots as an art teacher, thus I pay particular importance to detail, texture and lighting. I would love to have the opportunity to show my clients the way I open my heart in every project, always giving the best of me to make every illustration a unique piece that hopefully stays in the children's heart making them having a more beautiful and colourful childhood.

    I started my journey into graphic design in 2011 making book covers for hundreds of aspiring authors on an amateur writing site. I slowly gained more experience as a graphic designer, making posters, flyers, tickets and other graphics demands for many different events and freelance jobs. I then went on to graduate with a Bachelor's Degree in Fine Arts from Texas A&M University - Kingsville with a concentration in graphic design. I have worked for multiple universities as a graphic designer and have amassed over 5 years of graphic design experience and over 7 years of book cover design experience. I am skilled in making many graphics and am a very fast learner and hard worker. I am very excited and look forward to working with you!
