I thought you might be interested in this rough sketch of the cover for “Artful” which will be coming out this summer from Amazon Books. The cover is by Douglas Smith, the marvelous artist who has done, among other things, the covers for the “Wicked” books. The full title for the book is: ARTFUL: Being the Heretofore Secret History of that Unique Individual, The Artful Dodger, Hunter of Vampyres (Amongst Other Things). You can order it now, believe it or not.






NIIIIIIIICE!!!!!!! 🙂
Douglas, by the way, is the immensely talented son of makeup legend Ðìçk Smith. I just thought I would throw that in, apropos of nothing as they say.
That is certainly a book I want to read 🙂
Really looking forward to this one. Hopefully you handle him better than that Dickens guy.
That is certainly a book I hope gets turned into a graphic novel/movie.
Movie would be sweet.
PAD
I still daydream about how sweet a Spider-Man 2099 movie would be.
As always, I’ll buy and read, although getting a wee bit tired of vampires! (not just PAD … they’re everywhere!)
That brings another hot cultural favourite to mind – anything zombie related coming up?
I’d like to see an original super hero novel 🙂 I loved “What Savage Beast” back in the day; given your ability to (co)create a brand new Star Trek universe, a brand new universe in prose could go over well?
Back on topic – looking forward to Artful – hopefully not the train wreck that was the school production of “Oliver!” I participated in.
Just pre-ordered it! Looks great.
Sweet.
