it's been a background project of mine to take the book cover redesigns I've done over the last couple years and make them into full dustjacket designs, for my own copies! #art #bookdesign

photo of a stack of 5 books: lucha of the night forest, pantomime, sheine lende, the butterfly assassin, and the works of vermin, all with redesigned covers.

I have an extra of vermin & sheine lende (sized to hardcovers) if anyone in wgtn/nz wants one. too much effort to ship intl but I may consider putting the print files on ko-fi if people are interested!
