Two design projects that I can finally show off and a couple of random graphics that I've made over the past couple of days as a distraction....

Pretty graphics! :)

I'm curious if you read many of the books you do covers for. Is that how you get ideas, or do the authors come to you first with ideas of their own on how they want a cover to look?

Hope your box set arrives soon--yay for marathons! \o/ I'm trying to decide what I want to watch next. My brother said he really loved The Tudors and the entire series is available on Netflix instant queue... *ponders*

Thank you m'dear!

Most of the time I'm designing for books that are not published yet, so typically I design based on the author's input and from a synopsis of the yet to be published book. I typically write a complimentary copy of the book into my contracts so I get a copy, and I do try to get around to reading as many client novels as I can. A perk to my job is definitely the books! *laughs*

I loved the Tudors! I think you'd enjoy it too! Lots of drama and gorgeous sets and costumes! I wasn't sure that I could accept Jonathan R. Meyers as Henry VIII as he looks nothing at all like the man - but he won me over - stellar performance.

Free books is an excellent perk! :D

Sadly I had internet issues right after my post last night so I couldn't watch the Tudors. Then I ended up dozing off VERY early! My daughter came into my room around 9 pm to find me asleep already, lol Somehow I'm still tired after nearly 10 hours of sleep though, sheesh! Probably slept too much--I generally average 6 to 7 hours, if I'm lucky.

Maybe I'll get a chance to start Tudors tonight, although I should probably watch a movie Blue Valentine, which I think I've had for at least a month now!

Weee hates internet troubles prescioussss!!!!

I hope you can begin watching The Tudors!! Let me know what you think! I have not watched Blue Valentine yet myself - so tell me your thoughts on that if you watch it tonight.

Outstanding work Cat!! As always I'm very impressed with your art and your skills as a graphic artist. Thanks for sharing :))

Just dug out of our *hopefully* last snow storm of the season. We got 4 feet of heavy, wet snow. Yes, I was so thrilled and happy I could have just sh-t ;p

Hugs and love

[cat_o_wen]

Thank you so very much Shelley!! *hug*

Oh good lord that is a lot of snow! I hope it is the last one for you this season!!!

Much love!

I love the Game of Thrones graphic. The face in the trees is amazing. It took me a few seconds to see it! LOL.

I also love the bookcover there is so much to see. The story must be as busy as the cover which means it must have a lot of action.

I'm glad you got an adjustment and your back is better.

Almost forgot to mention the trailer. It looks like the two women had a really fun trip!

[cat_o_wen]

It is subtle ;) but the effect that I was going for in that graphic. So glad you liked it!

And thanks very much for the compliments on my designs! I do love what I do.

I love the sci-fi cover! Very cool! That would be fun to design for sure. And I'm glad Deborah let you release that video as it did turn out very well. :)))))

Glad you're doing the daily graphics - mom watches that show too and she likes it. I need to see it at some point I'm sure.

Training was good but ran long so I'm off to bed like now *laughs* Glad to speak to you today and I hope the rest of your day was good too, honey.

love! xxoo and take it easy tomorrow. <333

[cat_o_wen]

Thank you honey *smooches* I certainly enjoyed these projects. And making daily graphics seems to help me unwind too. Glad to hear that your mom also watches OUaT! Its a cute show. Very light and fluffy compared to your TWD series *laughs*

Hope you got some sleep last night!

Much love!
