From the cover brief: The central theme of the book is the role played by resentment and revenge in the history – that is, the kind of resentment that emerges out of a form of humiliation or suffering experienced by an individual or group or even a nation, and that subsequently turns into an act of violence or revenge. I think we are going in a different direction on this one but I like the way the image interacts with the type to reinforce the theme of the book.

Animals
Don LePan
This cover is going into final production. From the back cover: Animals is a powerful novel set in an indeterminate future in which virtually all the species that humans have for millennia used as food have become extinct; the world this change creates is at once eerily foreign and disturbingly familiar.
I started by purchasing a set of dishes for $16.92 at Canadian Tire and went to work on my back porch
Line art for Delft china elements.

I Sing the Body Politic
Peter Swirski
Cowboy boots as bookends for the Bush Era.
From the back cover:
The end of George W. Bush's imperial presidency means that the wreckage of the republic's political ideals is now subject to a vigorous reassessment. In essays by five senior scholars, major works of American literature and film are analyzed in the context of a larger set of arguments about American injustice at home and across the empire.
"Though a unique combination of scholarship, readability, and what might be described as moral outrage, I Sing the Body Politic makes its point in a very telling way. Beautifully written, and based on an impressive amount of research, it casts a devastating light on the Bush administration and the political order in recent years."

I found this in the river at the back of our farm. It is part of old tree root that had grown around a small stone.

I was given a selection of photographs to work from for this two colour cover. I really loathe duotones and whenever possible I like to use cropping and contrast to give the cover more impact.
