At portfolioa day back in 07 I got super-lucky and blundered into a job with scholastic, doing some young-adult mystery book covers. Last week, while doing some holiday shopping, i stumbled across the first book for sale in Borders! definitely a pleasant surprise. i'll post the art for the next three covers as soon as i get the finished layout with type etc.i'm a huge nerd and totally excited about this!

I never knew you did those covers! Thats so awesome how portfolio day has led people to actual big guy jobs. I am so stoked about what's to come for myself.
Thanks for sharing, that cover is really cool and I am looking forward to seeing the previous covers.
Did you get back in contact with them to see if you could get any other work out of them?
Yeah!! I'll check them out at work!! Beautiful stuff as always.
Man that's such an awesome thing to come across! Congratulations! I had a horrible experience at portfolio day, glad to see some other actually benefited from it though :) The cover looks great, Alex!
