Vampire cover art from an unexpected source
Although soon everyone in my house but me will be having a birthday, I'm the one that got a present the other day. My oldest son, a very talented artist for 15 (even if he doesn't believe it) presented me with a piece of art he had designed. It was cover art for a story he wants me to write, a dark vampire/heavy metal rock band tale (with lots of girls in it. So sad, so teenage boyish!) But when I saw the great cover, I decided I had to write some kind of story to go with it.
It's on the carousel on my front page. Look for the cover titled "Monster". The human/vampire skull with the awesome fanged incisors and the text with fanged letters was too sweet not to use! I may throw in some girls to make him happy, and a dash of heterosexual activity, but I doubt I'll stray far from my usual pairings. When he made the quitar picture above for the back cover, I knew I had to do something with it! Too cool!

It's gorgeous!!! You tell your son that he's got talent!!! He did a wonderful job! I can't wait to read the book and drool over the cover!!! Congrats Laura on having such a great kid!!!
Thanks so much, jjr! I think he's terrifically talented. It's nice to find a way to channel that talent and skill in to something he can develop into a trade in the future. Creativity is a wonderful thing to foster in kids. Most schools don't allow for the kids that think outside the box much.
That's gorgeous. How very talented he is.
