That wasn't necessary, Tom. I'd've (can you have double contractions?) bought one of your books, anyway.

Squire's artwork is more of what i was hoping for, not sure about the piece picked if i'm honest!

Glad to see you survived you endless day of frolics and work!

A five "hour "nanny nap" this afternoon saw me right, although I had that grainy, washed out feeling one gets when the sun rises after pulling an all-nighter

Thanks, Mr. Woot. To make that cover work, you have to move the detonation over to get it all on front cover. The porportions are off for what I tried to do.

You're an endlessly surprising lucky dip of talent Mr Boone (and, yep, I'm being serious ) - another facet of your creativity unveils itself

This is very basic (all I have at my disposal is a basic paint program), but some thing like this is what I envisoned.

What I was trying for was something written on a note fluttering down on the cloud with an ash-like quality to it. Of course, you would want to spell her name correctly...

I guess the difference is that The Passage art Tomislav turned in was dark and this one is bright (thus highlighting the black bars (letterboxing?)). When I saw the art, I really liked the idea of the doll face being the back cover and the title "PURE" printed underneath the detonation.

We tried a bunch of other options, some with the doll on the front, some with the mushroom cloud, etc. This is a similar design concept as The Passage, which was also Tomislav's idea and turned out really nicely.

Hmmm...one of the things like like about CD covers is the art is spread out over the whole jacket. This minimizes what is very striking detail in Tikulin's work...That's just a first impression, tho. The more I look at, the more I'll like it, I'm sure. Not thatit's bad, by any means, just...different from what I've come to expect from CD.

Yea we decided to go with something different this time. I actually think this type of layout was Tomislav's idea, if I remember correctly.

The detail page now has the finished front cover. Very cool.

I totally forgot we finally picked a cover design. I think we went through 25 different options or something.

Good luck with that goal my friend!

You go mate !!!! This is also a volume I hope to add to the collection at some point (although not likely in 2012)

Thanks for the words of encouragement! The Gunslinger is really a "holy grail" for me and I hope I can pull it off this year. It's a bit scary thinking of dropping that kind of money for one book but I'm ready for it.

Yep budgets do suck. However I went wild last year with books and I have to rein in the spending this year. I have a goal this year of buying a 1st 1st of The Gunslinger and for this to happen I need to save my cash.
