Justice has a new... cover! The fab @rachellawston.bsky.social designed and illustrated a total refresh for my Detective Daintypaws Christmas Special, which is free to download this week! amzn.to/4gaU42h #books #booksky #writingcommunity #authors #cats

The cover for "Detective Daintypaws: Buscemi at Christmas" by Andrew K. Lawston. The tagline reads "Justice has a new... naughty list". Against a green background decorated with snowflakes, a grumpy-looking black cat sits, wearing a red and white festive Christmas collar with bells on.

Today I illustrated one of the greatest detectives to ever patrol the streets of Barnes… It was epic. Cover will be revealed soon!

All book designers are font hoarders. However, despite how much we obsess over fonts, we only use a fraction them repeatedly. I have just over 11,000 fonts. #fontaddict #fonts #bookdesigner #bookcoverart

Before & After: I don’t think people realize the extent to which parked cars degrade public space.

What's interesting about this trend for book marketing AI companies—who secure £Xmil in seed funding, get a write-up in the Bookseller, and will now wither away, leaving only a slime trail of AI generated goop across the surface of culture—is mainly what it says about capital’s engagement with books

If you're feeling down during these dark winter nights, I recommend this uplifting, escapist romantic comedy book I illustrated for the wonderful team at @boldwoodbooks.bsky.social and @lauracarterauthor.bsky.social 💙📚 #booksky #bookcover #bookcoverart #bookillustrator #coverartist #bookdesigner

Cover for Laura Carter's "Stuck in Paradise with You." The cover shows a couple enjoying a trip on a yacht, with a sunset behind them.
