Behind the Cover: Anne Cain

Graphic artist Anne Cain has had a pencil in hand for just about as long as she can remember. Though most of her art is digital these days, she enjoys working in a wide range of mediums. Watercolors and oil paints are some of her favorites, but nothing beats a simple piece of paper and a pencil. She always carries around a sketchbook for ideas that come to mind while she’s on the road, later developing these sketches as possible illustrations or even covers.

After taking some journalism and art classes in college several years ago, Anne fell in love with the world of publishing and hasn’t looked back since. Since the summer of 2006, she has been a contributing cover artist for LooseId as well as a handful of other publishers. She has the most fun working on art for m/m books as well as paranormals and fantasies, two of her favorite genres.

An author as well as artist, Anne published the ChildsPrey series, the Dragon Disciple series and the Blood Brothers series co-written with Barbara Sheridan, and also some short novels, like the Pawprints series, by herself.

Anne loves different cultures, trying out new foods and learning a little bit from different languages. Fascinated with Asian mythology and pop-culture especially, she is a huge fan of anime and the Japanese music scene. Often, these two media influence her work and she’s happy to share her love for them.

I noticed that LI tends to use the same cover artist for the same author, so maybe your next book will have Anne Cain again. Elisa

She is one of the best in this business---I can identify her style and a good way for people to remember her work is to notice she always uses ERECT NIPPLES in profile...

XD

Yes, she has definetely an unique style both in painted than in photo covers. Erect nipples? Such a "tiny" details to notice... Good observer Tiffany.
