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 Last Concubine by Lesley Downer


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.

Now, this is real photo-manip art. And like many other media, only a relative few take it to the level of real art.

Thanks!

As always Erastes says, the problem is to find men dressed in frilly garment ;-) Elisa
