March Prompt "Book Cover"

[Chip Valecek]

As long as the book exists, I would just reference the book and maybe a link to the synopsis. I for one can not read, I have a hard time with it. I am a visual person and brief graphic novels over books. So this is going to be a hard one for me. I think the last book a read was in high school. I guess I should just do that one. I think it was Lord of the Flies.

@Chip-Valecek could you not do a book cover for nursery rhymes - I have two oldies (book collections) that I love?

[Heather Boyd]

@Johanna-Kim Not sure, sounds familiar -reminds me of The Stone Soup -read that one once in high school.

[Eli]

@Aleksey One of my very favorite writers--I've read everything he wrote. Amazing Maurice would be awesome!

[Eli]

@Johanna-Kim I love The Giver. It is definitely a classic and I would love to see what you would do with it!

[Chip Valecek]

@Heather-Boyd I'm sure that would be fine. As long as its not made up and it clearly defines what is in the book.

[peteolczyk]

Cheers Chip, I like the prompt. I think Lord of the flies would suit your style really well too.

[ArtofAleksey]

@Eli so its a throw up between that and the frog prince for me

OOOO! Just saw this - pretty excited to see what everyone comes up with, and I love that we're going with well known stories.
I think I'm going to go with either the short story "The Yellow Wallpaper" or the YA "Island of the Blue Dolphins." Anyone familiar with those stories?

Also @Heather-Boyd - my friend told me the story for Stone Soup while camping once - brings back good memories.

I also agree with @peteolczyk for @Chip-Valecek - I think Lord of the Flies would be way up your alley.

[Eli]

@kaitlinmakes Both of those would be so cool. I read Island of the Blue Dolphins LONG ago but remember really liking it. But I've got to say that I think Yellow Wallpaper would be AMAZING and darkly fun !!

Hey everybody,
I did The Knight in Rusty Armor by Robert Fisher. Below the piece.

I read the book many years ago; but here is the best book summary I found.

The story is great and I highly recommend it. It is the story about a person finding the real values of family and facing hard challenges.

Thank you and good luck,
Jose

@josegalue25 - Wow! This looks great! I'm really second guessing my entry after seeing yours!! Great job!

Hi, all! This is my first post. Eek! I'm excited to just dive in. I went with a classic - Little Red Riding Hood, but with a spookier vibe. Pen and ink with watercolor, and a little lighting work/text on the computer. Lots of great art on these forums. Best of luck to everyone! -Marie

@WindyWyoGal I like it. A darker take on the story.

This is my first entry into one of these contests. I hope I’m up to par with everyone. I decided to go with one of my all-time favorite books, The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe. If you haven’t read it, close your computer right now, go out, and purchase it immediately. It’s worth your time!

[Heather Boyd]

@alicia Your snow scene is quite nice and that added little snow "in the real world" so to speak .

[Heather Boyd]

@WindyWyoGal It reminds me of a paper cut out and a pop up book. That's nice thanks.

[alicia]

@Heather-Boyd - Thanks so much!
