Dan Is The Man

I am pleased, and not a little astounded, to report that Dan Dos Santos, who painted the original cover for Implied Spaces some years ago, has very kindly allowed me to use the painting on my ebook.  For free.  Because he’s an awesomely nice guy.

Neither he nor I have the rights to the original cover design, or the lettering, so I’ll have to do the design myself.  Which is fine, because the original was optimized to be seen on a shelf in a bookstore, and this one has to be optimized  to be reduced to postage-stamp size in an online bookstore and still be legible.

Here’s my first go at it.

I’ll probably tweak it some between now and uploading the new versions of the book, which will happen next week, because I’m leaving for Boskone in a few hours and don’t have the time to mess with it now.

And in the meantime, if anyone meets Dan Dos Santos, please buy him a beer for me, will you?
