Habeas Corpus is not a book about law but the human body. The book itself is short with vivid word choice and tongue in cheek humor. The client requested that body parts be depicted on the cover but to strictly avoid gory or shocking imagery. This lead to the decision of silhouettes giving the piece a classy feel while keeping true to the client's request.

Originally created as a back cover image for the book Habeas Corpus but due to space constraints were removed in final production. Was used later for social media ad campaign to drum up sales of the book Habeas Corpus.

Front, back and spine design for the 2015 issue of Pirene's Fountain. Approved by the client and passed off to Layout and Design for final text. The theme for the issue was nautical with the client specifically requesting a seahorse and blue and teal color scheme.

Cover art for use on Glass Lyre Press's poetry anthology, Aoelian Harp. The image is intended for use on each consecutive issue. Final composition of the image for print and advertisements was handled by Layout and Design. Client requested something breezy with organic shapes overlooking a body of water. Photoshop was used to create the image.

Focal Piece for the anthology project Collateral Damage. Info about the project can be found at the following: http://www.glasslyrepress.com/collateral-damage.html Client requested something stark representing both the Earth and it's children. The egg motif was decided upon as it represents one of the earliest stages of life. The broken shell signifying how easy it is for that life to be taken and ruins left behind. This is a charity project with proceeds from the eventual sales going to children in desperate need. This money will be going to UNICEF and similar organizations.

Front cover art for the inaugural print issue of Pirene's Fountain, a Journal of Poetry. Until 2014 all other issues had been released in strictly digital format via the webpage http://pirenesfountain.com/

Dogwood inspired branches for the back cover to illustrate the spring season. Only the upper branch was used.

Each bust depicts an influential woman from history. Enheduanna, the first female poet, legendary Arabic Queen Scheherazade and Egyptian Queen Nefertiti. Drawing from texts, sculpture and paintings of the three women each piece was painted using photoshop. the line art for each piece became a chapter header inside the book.

Floodwater by Connie Post was a collaborative piece as the artist who first began the cover, Melinda B. Hipple, had to bow out before completion. My part was color changes, enhancements to light, shadow and foliage.

First Water combines the best of the best from the previous digital issues of Pirene's Fountain and gathers them in Glass Lyre Press's first publication. The painting itself is of the Naiad Pirene in her fountain which, according to legend was an inspiration to the muses. Pictures of the ancient fountain as well as a dear friend for Pirene herself were used in the creation of this image.

A poetry anthology by Pirene's Fountain in response to the devastating Tsunami that hit Japan back in 2011. Proceeds of the book go to the relief effort for the Tsunami and still do to this day. The idea behind the cover was that even through all the water, Japan could not be swallowed. The Sun is representing Japan

2013 was the first year that Glass Lyre Press/Pirene's fountain participated in the charity event hosted by 100 Thousand Poets for Change. The Pegasus is an integral part of Pirene's legend and as such, a very special creature to us at GLP. The poster was used as both an online and physical poster to attract attention to the event.
