Self Publishing & Marketing

The title art for the book didn't make it to the poster

SO I am slowly working on self publishing the Secret Magicks of Maine and one of the major pieces of marketing is the poster that will be sent to book stores for signings and other such events. I wanted to make a unique painting for the book because none of the interior art besides the sketch for the title page speak to the title.

The Title art for The Secret Magicks of Maine

So with a little help from a co-worker who posed for me I have been clawing away at make the art for the Poster. The poster of course had a fairy and I wanted it to be slightly hidden I also wanted it to be colorful. So I hide the fairy in some fall leaves. Here is the sketch of my beautiful model made into a fairy with a secret.

A tree fairy with a secret the main focus on the poster.

And the first color draft of the poster.
