If you are going to include books in your figure of speech I am going to talk about it. There are far too many amazing cover artists and designers for us to keep using this phrase!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some of my favourite cover artists, who are some of yours? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gary Ruddell<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.gr-assets.com\/images\/S\/compressed.photo.goodreads.com\/books\/1366553930l\/17835114.jpg\" alt=\"The Kindly Ones by Melissa Scott\" width=\"178\" height=\"293\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This cover of The Kindly Ones by Melissa Scott is one of my all-time favourite book covers. I mean look at it. It is absolutely gorgeous. I adore the details in the folds of the fabric. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Think about the fact that this cover was painted traditionally. As a digital artist I&#8217;m definitely not one of those &#8220;digital art isn&#8217;t real art&#8221; people, but there is definitely a whole other skill set required to produce an actual painting. (Believe me, I&#8217;m terrible at it)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gary Ruddell&#8217;s work is seen all over vintage sci-fi covers from Lois McMaster Bujold to Dan Simmons. Unfortunately, most of his book cover art days seem to be in the past. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"http:\/\/thanuka.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tomer Hanuka<\/a><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d28hgpri8am2if.cloudfront.net\/book_images\/onix\/cvr9781534414587\/persephone-station-9781534414587_hr.jpg\" alt=\"Persephone Station | Book by Stina Leicht | Official Publisher Page | Simon  &amp; Schuster Canada\" width=\"190\" height=\"286\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>I first saw Tomer Hanuka&#8217;s work on the cover of Persephone Station by Stina Leicht (which you can seem my review of <a href=\"http:\/\/bookofthegay.com\/index.php\/2021\/01\/05\/persephone-station-lgbt-book-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>) and fell in love. It&#8217;s bright, bold, and incredibly eye-catching. And you can really describe all of his work this way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tomer&#8217;s work has appeared on the cover of The New Yorker and National Geographic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His work is bright, vivid, and uses colour beautifully and creatively. Honestly, his way of using colour and his composition are artistic goals for me.  I highly recommend checking out his <a href=\"http:\/\/thanuka.com\/\">website<\/a> or his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/tropical_toxic\/\">instagram<\/a> page to see more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"http:\/\/thanuka.com\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"449\" src=\"http:\/\/bookofthegay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image-4-1024x449.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-355\" srcset=\"http:\/\/bookofthegay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image-4-1024x449.png 1024w, http:\/\/bookofthegay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image-4-300x132.png 300w, http:\/\/bookofthegay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image-4-768x337.png 768w, http:\/\/bookofthegay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image-4-1536x674.png 1536w, http:\/\/bookofthegay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image-4.png 1894w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aykworks.com\/\">Aykut Aydogdo<\/a><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.gr-assets.com\/images\/S\/compressed.photo.goodreads.com\/books\/1565023722l\/52704636._SX318_SY475_.jpg\" alt=\"Wilder Girls by Rory Power\" width=\"190\" height=\"287\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>I fell in love with the cover of Wilder Girls (which I&#8217;ve talked about on instagram<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CDmZgnEgP0s\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> here<\/a>) the moment I saw it. I really love how soft, and yet still creepy, the girl on the cover is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The rest of Aykat&#8217;s work is very similar thematically. His work is stunning, has slick colour palettes, and often veers from the beautiful directly into the uncanny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You should definitely check out his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aykworks.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">website<\/a> or his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/aykutmaykut\/?hl=tr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">instagram<\/a> to check out more of his work if any of these piece&#8217;s pique your interest, <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aykworks.com\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"959\" height=\"383\" src=\"http:\/\/bookofthegay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image-5.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-360\" srcset=\"http:\/\/bookofthegay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image-5.png 959w, http:\/\/bookofthegay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image-5-300x120.png 300w, http:\/\/bookofthegay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image-5-768x307.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 959px) 100vw, 959px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.alyssawinans.com\/\">Alyssa Winans<\/a><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.tor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/EmpressSaltFortune-cover.jpg?resize=740%2C1184&amp;type=vertical&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"Revealing The Empress of Salt and Fortune and Publishing in the Age of  Diaspora Fantasy | Tor.com\" width=\"189\" height=\"302\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.tor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/whenthetigercamedown.jpg?resize=740%2C1184&amp;type=vertical&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"Tiger, Cleric, Scholar, Scout: Revealing Nghi Vo's When the Tiger Came Down  the Mountain | Tor.com\" width=\"189\" height=\"300\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Alyssa Winans is the artist behind some of my favourite tor dot com novellas (which you can see me raving about <a href=\"http:\/\/bookofthegay.com\/index.php\/2020\/12\/08\/the-empress-of-salt-and-fortune-lgbt-book-review\/\">here<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/bookofthegay.com\/index.php\/2020\/12\/08\/when-the-tiger-came-down-the-mountain-lgbt-book-review\/\">here<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/bookofthegay.com\/index.php\/2020\/10\/23\/the-short-of-it-my-favourite-queer-novellas\/\">here<\/a>!) These covers are so striking. I love the depth of the colours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alyssa works has appeared across many book covers, graced the front of google in a number of google doodles.
