For Authors Seeking Cover Art

As writers I am sure many of you can agree that when our lives aren't the one thing taking up all our time, it is also our writing and in this sometimes there are slip-ups be it editing, not creating an online presence, websites, or perhaps even our own cover art. Sometimes we are so focussed on actually writing the story we forget that the first thing to catch a readers eye before the title of a book is the cover art, and it is the cover art that gets overlooked until last minute and sometimes, just sometimes, we settle for something that is not quite right or befitting to our work because we were in such a rush to publish. But this doesn't have to be the case!

For some of us we accept that publishers provide for us covers for our work through their own artists, photographers etc. For others we just don't know where to start looking, artists, illustrators, photographers, graphic artists, the list is long but not as long as the list of names of the artists themselves.
So to clear the fog so to speak, let me introduce you to one man and his art.


Lampros Kalfuntzos aka 3ddream is a 3D graphic artist, and web designer born in Athens Greece and living in the UK. Self taught in photoshop and with a Master of Arts in 3D Digital Design and a BA (hons) Design: Multimedia Graphics, Lampros has made a name for himself across the United Kingdom with clients from IBM, Sage, Fujitsu, and Microsoft as well as actresses, models, individual businesses and yes, even writers! His work is fantasy based and is inspired by the likes of Final Fantasy and mythology and have featured in a number of online magazines (see personal website for complete resume).

Lampros is currently accepting freelance work whilst working on his own art projects for sale through a number of galleries including deviant art and zazzle. Please see the above youtube video with a selection of his work and below for links to a number of Lampros' online haunts.

If you would like Lampros to work with you on cover art for an upcoming book then please drop him an email through his website or one of his social networks.

Dreams really can come true
and you can have the cover
your book deserves!
