Elisa, what a great series. I hope you'll be doing more interviews with other cover artists. These covers are literally breathtaking. And it's fascinating to know how the pros who work for the big publishers go about their work. I would love to know how much a cover with model, costumes, photo shoot, etc. costs. I bet it costs more than a loaf of bread! These are real artists.

I like to let people understand how much work there is behind a beautiful cover. I think that, at that level, they have to be quite expensive. An artist told me that a single cover, with quite details, costs 500 euro, and he was a cheaper one.
