On By roosterrepublicIn Book Covers, NewsLeave a comment

A recent commission has come to fruition. A couple months ago, the author messaged me about doing a book cover involving a friendship with Satan. Being a fan of the Satanic Panic era, I jumped on board aaaaaand Kyle Rader’s MY BFF SATAN is now available on Amazon as a Kindle and paperback book. We ended up shooting for a minimalist cover, and an animated book trailer that fit the style (with an original score by Jonathan Sterling @Orion_Sterling), which I am glad to showcase below.

Commission Complete: Brian Bowyer’s APOCALYPSE

On By roosterrepublicIn Book Covers, NewsLeave a comment

A recent commission for Brian Bowyer’s upcoming horror novel APOCALYPSE. I do believe it is set for release in January but if you’d like to find more on Brian and his work, you can check HERE. You can also find him on twitter here @BrianBowyer1.

I grew up loving apocalyptic films and literature, films like the original Dawn of the Dead, the Max Max movies, Cyborg, and the Deathland series were constant in rotation, so when Brian shot me an email describing his new book, I just thought-

Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

New Premade Covers! Cthulhu and Vintage pieces

On By roosterrepublicIn Book Covers, NewsLeave a comment

Two new pieces from the past few days. After doing some Freddy and Jason fan art, I kinda figured I’d tackle another horror icon with H.P. Lovecraft’s Cthulhu. The second piece has a quasi-vintage feel, and both, noticeably, are a bit on the green side. Maybe because there’s almost a foot of snow outside and I long for wearing shorts and smoking a cigarette on the porch without freezing to death. Anyway, enjoy! Both pieces are available.

All premade covers are $100 via paypal, $25 extra to expand them to print jackets. Custom covers start at $150. Always feel free to email us at roosterrepublicpress@gmail.com and for more info and covers navigate to our Design Services tab or click HERE.

Freddy Vs Jason (Kinda) Fan Art

On By roosterrepublicIn NewsLeave a comment

My business partner and good pal Nicholas Day (author of Grind Your Bones To Dust) suggested that maybe I should try out some horror fan art. I’d been talking about getting back to more painting since a lot of my work tends to involve graphic design or composites, and I’ve had an itch to return back to the basics to sharpen some skills.

So he sends me a sketch of Freddy Krueger (Nick is also quite the artist himself) and now here we are.

The version on the right was the original finished copy but I couldn’t stop dicking with it. And since this wasn’t for a commercial project, I mean why not dick with it?

I still can’t decide which one I like better. But still, I couldn’t stop myself from doing a minimal color palette.

So we moved onto Jason Voorhees.

As you can see on the right, I have a sort of love affair with black, red, and white. Looking through our catalog of premade covers, you’ll probably see quite a few of them near that color scheme. I have to consciously stop myself and change direction on nearly everything I do because I love that aesthetic. I really, really like it. I like it a lot.

Minimalist pieces, duo-tones, and monochrome really speaks to me, that’s my jam, my bread and butter, but that’s exactly why I wanted to get back into painting, to try and break that habit and expand things a bit.

At the moment, I’m pretty pleased as to how they turned out and we’ve had some requests for prints but we’ll have to discuss that. For now, enjoy the fan art and feel free to contact us at roosterrepublicpress@gmail.com if you’d like something custom, be it for a book cover or any old thing you might want to hang in your house. Also, check out our Design Services HERE and scroll through to see how we can help with your projects. There are quite a few premades available right now, and we are always open to commissions.
