My work for the Maelstrom imprint of Thunderstorm Books will be seen at the end of 2010. I did three covers and signature sheets for three of their books: Six Days by Kelli Owen, and The Rising: Deliverance and A Gathering of Crows, both by Brian Keene. I’ve worked quite a bit with Cemetery Dance Publications as well,…

More macro shots

Published by Russell Dickerson on December 10, 2008December 10, 2008

Since the graphic design/logo blog went over like a lead balloon, and I wanted to try the new camera out some more, here are a few closeups of an old sculpture that I did years ago.

Maybe it will help me get cracking on that next sculpture too…
