I ran across Judge a Book By Its Cover this weekend. It’s a public librarian’s blog that features the worst book covers in the library. Pure torture, if you ask me. There are some really bad covers out there. Ugh! Not sure I can check in too often. After visiting that one I always have to click over to Henry Yene See’s blog to cleanse my palette and calm down. His covers are great and his work is fun to follow because he posts everything from concepts through final work.
But that first blog kind of runs along the line of the Boston’s Museum of Bad Art (which is home to the immortal Lucy in the Field with Flowers).
You’re right. That blog of bad book covers is difficult to browse through. Although I think it might be because I was afraid I’d see one of my covers on there. And thanks for the great compliment. I like to think of my blog as two scoops of fragola e melone gelati.
Best, Henry
