The Spirit of the Moon

I did the cover art for "The Spirit of the Moon", a young adult fantasy book by John Boman. The paperback is available from Createspace and Amazon. It's also available in various e-book formats, from Smashwords, Amazon and AppleStore.

"On one fateful night, someone has used dark magic and captured the Goddess which resides within the moon. Who has done this and for what nefarious purpose? And how is this connected to a strange little town called SOVEREIGN CREEK? Two mysterious strangers, MR AND MRS WELLINGTON, have arrived in town to find out exactly what has happened to the Moon Spirit, before a terrible fate befalls the Earth. Aiding them in their quest will be twelve year old MAXIMUS WALKER, a local young boy too curious for his own good. Will they succeed in their mission and if so, what price will be paid?"

Comfort Zone / Häikiö

As you may have noticed, this one is in Finnish. A 20 page web-comic format story I did last year - this is the first time it's seen by the public. It's about the horrors of an ordinary office. For me, the most important thing with it was getting more comfortable with using the Wacom tablet in the coloring process.
