This is the second book cover that I did for John Eidemak. A new book cover illustration for the second edition publication of his book titled Sincere Deceit was needed.
The top one on the left was the one closest to what the author had specified that he wanted. In the end, this was the sketch chosen for me to pursue.
So I worked up a more detailed sketch for the client including some text to indicate where I intended it to be placed.
The final painting was done in acrylic on board. They chose to go with a different placement of the text than I had designed. They really should have let me know they intended to do this because the final cover has the window with missing parts to it's framing.
