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.

Oh Elisa, you're a star! Hee! Thanks for this post! And yes, when I found out who the cover artist was going to be, I was gobsmacked and very honoured. He's very very good indeed, and I love some of his misty, painterly stuff. He manages to be romantic and realistic at the same time. (And I love my boys :) They're so handsome in their uniforms :D )

Yes, "your" boys are really nice in those uniforms, much better than naked ;-) Elisa
