Coverart - Blog Posts
Well here is the cover for one of my other books in the works. This is fresh from my artist. I love them so much.
So I am really struggling to decided which of these pics is better to be the cover of my second book. So I need as many opinions as possible to help me decide which cover I should pick. Please help me by telling me which of the two you think is better. I would really truly appreciate any feedback.
This is the cover of my first soon-to-be self-published book. It is called the Piper Wars: Book 1. Some people may not like it but I love it.
Painted on my sketchbook my dad got me. Looks sloppy but I can do better next time.
Leo The Artist - eko 7
Leo The Artist - barbershop . . . This piece is another product of the same collaboration. Thought it was good enough with the pattern overlaid on it. Really gets at what barbershop and salons mean to people, especially black people. The barber's chair is our version of a psychotherapist reclining chair; the barber is the psychotherapist who most of the time allows us to come to our own conclusions about the things that come up as psychologist are said to do. The stillness that barbershop demand as we wait to get our haircut, and as we sit getting our hair cut, forces the issues of life to the back so we can meditate and reflect - as you can see in the face of the kid in the piece above. The pattern overlaid represents the free thoughts roaming both inside and around everyone in the barbershop. Mind you, all of this came to me when I was working on the piece. It's pretty beautiful if you think about it. Stay up and stay peaceful!
Leo The Artist - vortex . . . These two version came from a collaboration with a few of my friends. They are my own rift on a particular branch on glitch art. I didn't really pursue to create a glitch piece. I was messing around with a square plain of dots that I found a way to warp and bend. That plain became the three spheres you see in the middle of these two pieces, with a rainbow gradient added on top. sometimes a artist my come across or come up with a interest and unique object, sound, material, or form. These things can really motivate an artist to focus on the piece to its completion. Unfortunately, they also can cause artist to overload a piece because they like that sound or object so much. Artist can also overload a piece in the effort to stay in a certain style. What I've learn is to keep in mind what demands to be the focus of a piece and not drown it with to many things. I feel Kanye West does this well. It is most apparent in his album 'Yezzus' where there are a limited number instruments used on each track to give a unique sound space to make more of an impact. This is what I tried to do with these pieces. I had to go back and take off a few things including a image of mega-man. Still however, I think I filled up these pieces to its brink when comes to too many things included. That's what I like about it though. Gotta Respect the artist IQ.
