CLAPTRAP Cover Art!
September 14th, 2021 | Posted in General
As promised, here’s the cover of Des Devlin and my upcoming book, CLAPTRAP. Like the rest of the book, this was a collaborative effort. The concept was mine but Des contributed a good number of the gags (okay, he wrote all the funny ones). This is a “wraparound” cover so I had to consider the spine and fold areas in the center when doing the composition.
This was a nice breather from doing the interiors, but it’s back to that tomorrow!

Wow!! Love this! Good luck with the new book Tom. This is stunning work.
Just when I thought life was not worth living a light looms on the horizon. Finally something to do WITHOUT wearing a mask.
