Hey everyone!

It's been a long time coming but I finally have gotten some new work up on my site!

If you go to my Works section, you'll see two new covers I've done while working here at Chronicle Books: The Egyptian Book of the Dead and The Best Dance Moves in the World...Ever! (they're under "dance" and "egypt" if you're having trouble finding them).

1) The Egyptian Book of the Dead: old vs. new covers The Egyptian Book of the Dead is an "old" (early 90's) book that they are reprinting with an updated cover to appeal to today's audience. They also wanted it to be less "dark" and more legible at thumbnail size for our online vendors like Amazon.com. The old cover is on the left and the new cover redesign I did is on the right.
2) The Best Dance Moves in the World...Ever! is a book from the UK that needed a new cover to appeal to American audiences.
'The Best Dance Moves...' cover 'The Best Dance Moves...' back flap
Both books will be on the shelves this coming spring 2008 (the dance book is hilarious...). I've done a lot more but I'm waiting for the printers in Hong Kong to print them! I'll update again as soon as I can get my hands on them and take some proper photographs. Things to anticipate: Playboy slipcase, marijuana gift wrap, and a New England Backroads Deck.

In the meantime, please keep your ears and eyes out for design jobs or people who need some design work done for them. This fellowship ends at the end of December so I'm on the hunt and looking to start working again this February!

Thanks so much and I hope you like it!
