From 2000-2005 I worked as an illustrator, designer and art director for the small press publisher Wormhole Books.
I had the opportunity to work on interior illustrations for two collectible chapbooks in the Dune universe by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson. Dune: Fremen Justice and Dune: Hunting Harkonnens.
I painted illustrations in oil and watercolor for a series of fantasy, science fiction, horror and mystery books.
As art director, I designed and laid out the chapbooks in the publisher’s various imprints and editions. I worked with illustrators to produce finished work to the required specifications, and helped the co-owners develop new looks for their logos and media. At the time, our chapbooks were considered some of the most attractive in the industry.
