Behind the Cover: Larry Rostant

To celebrate the "coming back" of False Colors and Transgressions on the Bestselling Lists on Amazon and the official release, that was April 13, this week cover artist is Larry Rostant.

Larry Rostant is one of the most sough after fantasy and historical cover artist of the moment, and even if his work is a manipulation of photos, it's done with taste and in a really effective way.

Cover Art for The Queen's Secret by Diane Haeger


























Larry Rostant's website is very essential, a gallery of previous works and the different manipulations he did to reach the final piece. Nothing else apart a contact email, but it's worth a visit.

So pretty. The first one reminds me of The Girl with the Pearl Earing cover. Fabulous art.

I believe that cover was from a painting, but you are right, Rostant's style has an ancient taste. Elisa
