Julie's print book & ebook cover art.
I'm an author and freelance editor who just happens to have artistic skills and training, too!
I create my cover artwork from initial hand-drawn composition sketches, developed from scratch. I share these initial concepts with my clients before developing the chosen sketch into the finished artwork, using a combination of photographic references and hand-drawn digital illustration. All textures, shading, colours, and details are created manually using standard digital illustration tools. I do not use generative AI (ChatGPT) in the creation of the final artwork.
For a single price, my work includes BOTH an upload-ready ebook cover and print-ready paperback sleeve to meet the standard technical requirements for printing and digital publishing.
Interested? Do you like a particular style from my sample selection on this page? Do you already have an idea of what you want? Perhaps, you just want to make contact to chat and find out more? Either way, I'd love to hear from you! Please email me for a no-obligation enquiry.

About AI generated artwork: Currently, publishing platforms such as Amazon KDP require publishers to disclose the use of AI-generated images for cover artwork. By contrast, AI-assisted editing (such as Photoshop's Content-Aware Fill, AI-powered upscaling, noise reduction, or similar enhancements applied to a human-created image) does not require disclosure.
This distinction is an important point of difference and one that authors should understand, as assisted editing in this way is not the same as generative AI used to create artwork.
