Happy New Year! I wanted to share on here some of my favorite graphics from 2023, both from my personal work (for example a parody t-shirt for my parents), and from requests here and elsewhere. I've also included some of my favorite photos that I took for stock photography!

All covers that have been on here before, but I was so surprised how many featured the color red. Prior to this year, I feel likely I rarely if ever made covers with red in them. Occasionally there would be a petal or a rose, or maybe a cloak, but never covers where red was a primary color, or heaven forbid, the main color.

This graphic is modeled after the logo of a drink called Moxie, popular in New England. My cat, named after Moxie for her sass and pictured below is fairly iconic for being a) needy and b) in constantly need of food. I've been saying for years that I'd make a t-shirt with her on it, and 2023 was finally the year.

(exhibit a, it was Christmas, and she was meowing for food lol)

And some of my favorite stock photos from this year! Most of them are on unsplash!

Separately, thank you so much for all of the wonderful requests and support in 2023! I can't wait to make more covers (hopefully more than last year) in 2024!

What premade covers would you like to see me make and/or what book cover trends do you think I should try out?
