BOLD CUSTOM BOOK COVER DESIGNS

To get started, simply reach out via the contact form below with details about your book, including its genre, themes, and any specific ideas you might have for your book cover design. Please, also specify any production information such as print-run, publishing house, territories of publishing and any other sensitive info related to your release. I’ll provide a quote and timeline, and we’ll work together to bring your vision to life.

I specialize in creating custom book cover designs with my unique approach to dark surrealism using strong and vibrant color palettes that you won’t find elsewhere. My signature style works perfectly for fantasy, horror and sci-fi, but over the years, I have had all kinds of novels, manifestos and researches using my art to illustrate their messages. Explore my portfolio to see examples, and if you’re unsure, let’s chat—I’ll help you visualize how my style can enhance your project. I am always eager to try and experiment with news aesthetics and styles, so if you want to go beyond dark surrealism, I’ll be delighted to experiment and have fun! You can also browse my catalog of cover art licensing to find inspiration or even grab one of my available artworks for your custom cover design.

Absolutely! I work with self-published authors, publishing houses, and independent creators to create professional, eye-catching book cover designs that help them stand out – we all come from somewhere! I am always happy to help in your humble beginnings. Your book deserves a professional cover art, no matter where you are in your career.

Absolutely! Many authors come to me with a synopsis, a brief manuscript or a general idea of what they want for their book cover art. Others come with complete plan on what they want for their custom book cover arts. As a freelance book cover artist, my work is to help you find the visual realm where your stories find their footing. Think of me as your freelance cover artist and creative partner!

Yes! As a freelance book cover artist and art director, I frequently collaborate with editors and publishing houses to create a consistent and recognizable visual identity for a book series. Whether it’s a trilogy or a long-running series, I’ll work with you to ensure each book cover design complements the others while maintaining individuality for each title. From editorial illustration to cohesive layouts, I’ll help tie together your series

I start by immersing myself in all materials and inspiration you have sent me. Sending me your full manuscript is by no means required, but a brief document that describes the key aspects of your work is. From there, I create initial sketches and concepts and share them with you. With your feedback, we will find the direction and vibe of your cover art. From there, I work on the final design until it’s perfect, showing it to you when it is nearly done to implement any minor adjustments. The process is collaborative, ensuring the final cover artwork aligns with your artistic vision.

Yes! I specialize in creating custom book cover designs for all genres, including fantasy, sci-fi, mystery, non-fiction… you name it! Each design is tailored to reflect the unique tone and themes of your book.

No problem! Many authors come to me with just a general idea of what they want – or no idea at all! My work as a freelance book cover designer is to find the visual heart of your book, and that is what I’ll do. Be sure to have ready a brief compendium of key elements I can draw inspiration from. From there, I’ll present you some drafts to pick a starting point. With your feedback, we will craft a striking book cover design that will capture the heart of your story. Also, you can try my book cover art licensing catalog – you might find an illustration that already goes well with your project if you are unsure. You never know!

Yes! While I specialize in dark surrealism with striking color palettes, I’m experienced in creating a wide range of styles, from minimalistic to vintage or illustrative. Every book has a story, and I’ll tailor the design to match your vision.

Absolutely! Typography is a crucial part of book cover arts. I’ll design custom fonts or choose existing ones that complement the artwork and ensure your book title and name stand out. This also applies to any new book cover arts commissioned via cover art licensing, as the license includes this treatment as a courtesy on the house!

Yes, I have experience collaborating with publishing houses on a wide range of book cover artworks, from independent novels to large publishing projects that feature several entries in a series. I understand the nuances of the industry and work efficiently to meet deadlines. Whether you need one book cover design or a series of covers, I’m happy to provide freelance book cover artist services to help bring your editorial vision to life. My goal is to create custom book cover designs that captivate readers while aligning with your editorial direction and keeping visual branding throughout a full series of books.

If you’re working on a book series, I offer a consistent approach to ensure all book cover arts in the series maintain a cohesive look while allowing for unique elements specific to each book. I’ll work with you to design each custom book cover design in a way that ties together the themes of the series, creating a strong visual identity that connects the books for your readers. Whether it’s a specific color palette, recurring visual motifs, or a shared layout, I’ll ensure that each book cover artwork speaks to the entire collection.

Pricing depends on the complexity of the design and the scope of your project. Every book has its own needs, and I don’t work with static prices. I need to have a deep dive into your ideas and themes to envision the complexity of the art. Also, I need to calculate costs for any design elements included in your commission that go beyond the cover art itself such as book jackets, interior illustrations or derivative promotional materials if there are any. I’ll take those into consideration alongside the scope of your whole project (print runs, territories of the release, etc) to calculate your quote. Strict and tight deadlines also have an extra fee. If you are ordering a full packaging design with custom cover artwork, don’t expect to pay less than one thousand bucks unless you are using illustrations from my cover art licensing collection. However, even if that’s out of your budget, feel free to ask: There is always a way to find the perfect design for your publication inside the limits of your budget!

I do not offer free cover designs as each project requires a significant amount of time and effort, even if it’s for a charity project – we freelance cover artists have bills to pay and limited time as well! However, I understand the financial pressures that independent artists and new authors often face. To help, I offer flexible payment options, including installments, so you can still get the custom book cover design you need without straining your budget. Whether you’re a fantasy author looking for a whimsical illustration cover or need an iconic piece of art for your philosophical manifesto, we can work out a plan that suits your needs and ensures you get the best possible design.

Yes! I understand that upfront costs can be tough, so I offer payment plans for all custom book cover arts. Whether you’re looking for just a cover artwork, a set of editorial illustrations or big editorial project consisting on many entries, I’ll work with you to break down the payment into manageable installments. This way, you can focus on your writing while I bring your vision to life. Let’s discuss the best way to approach the payments based on your project!

The scope of the license varies based on how you intend to use the custom book cover art. I offer different licensing options depending on factors like:

• Exclusivity: You can choose between exclusive or non-exclusive licenses. An exclusive license grants you sole rights to the design, while a non-exclusive license allows me to keep some rights to the art, such as the possibility to sell prints on my shop. But don’t worry: a custom cover artwork will never be licensed to anyone else!

• Print Run & Materials: The license can vary based on the number of copies you plan to print. If you’re planning a limited edition release with a smaller print run, the license may be priced differently compared to a large-scale release. The license will also take into account any additional materials that might use the design, such as packaging, promotional materials, merchandise and more.

• Territories: We’ll define the territories where the design will be used. For example, a license for worldwide use will differ in cost from a limited territory license (e.g., regional or national). We can tailor this based on your distribution plans. By discussing your specific needs, we’ll ensure the custom cover artwork license is tailored to your project, ensuring you get the rights you need for your cover arts for music. Let’s chat about what works best for your release and long-term goals!

Yes! You can license existing artwork from my gallery. If there is an artwork on my gallery that already captures the heart of your project, that’s a fast and affordable way to have your campaign ready in no time. I’ll customize it with any info you need, and other details to make it uniquely yours. In some cases, I can alter the original art to adequate it to the idea of your album.

Yes! I design custom book covers optimized for print (hardcover, paperback) and digital formats (eBooks, social media). I’ll provide high-resolution files and guidelines to ensure your cover looks stunning everywhere.

Absolutely! I offer full book packaging design, including hardcover jackets, interior illustrations, and even promotional materials. Every element is designed to create a cohesive visual identity for your book.

The timeline varies based on the project’s complexity, but most artworks are completed within 3-4 weeks (derivative materials aside). If you need a quick turnaround, I offer rush services for an additional fee. Please, bear in mind that my schedule is usually full months in advance, so be sure to contact me with enough time to ensure a spot in my timeline!

I provide drafts for approval at key stages of the design process, especially at the beginning. Your feedback is incorporated to ensure the final artwork meets your vision. Unless you have a very specific and complex idea that needs permanent oversight to respect the lore included in your project, I ask for creative freedom to ensure a hefty and agile process without interruptions and delays. I include a set number of revisions, with additional changes available if needed, depending on your needs.

It depends on the complexity and scope of what you need. My schedule is usually full months in advance, and I can only attend certain urgencies, like simple custom cover designs that I can create in overtime hours. Keep in mind that commissions with very tight, strict deadlines will have an additional fee. Let me know your deadline, and I’ll do my best to accommodate it without compromising quality!

As a freelance book cover artist, I take pride in my clients’ happiness. I include a set number of revisions in my process to ensure you’re happy with the final design. If you need additional changes after delivery, I offer affordable revision packages to accommodate your needs.
