Badly-Drawn Cowboy? I’ve heard some of his songs on the radio…

Good heavens! Mt. Breast has an inflamed areola! Who painted that mountain, Benny Hill?

“Look out! This volcano’s literally seventeen feet tall! It could spread lava for yards!”

I’ve often wondered what became of The Village People.

Pretty sure that cowboy’s a zombie, so those other two dudes might want to be careful.

Zombie cowboy vaguely reminds me of Yul Brynner, looking over his shoulder in bemusement at his companion who is about to lose his arms.

The volcano is obviously made even more dangerous by the reverse lightning it is throwing off.

Does this not qualify for a “its behind you!” tag?

Wow. Boys Own Stories were some batshit crazy stuff.

“Well, how do we categorize this one?”
“Huh?”
“Does anything of interest happen in it or not?”
“Um, YES.”
“‘Boy’s Literature’, then. SEND IN THE NEXT WRITE-SLAVE!”

As the artist of this book cover my only excuse is I was only sixteen when I tried my hand at oil painting. This cover was for a Pulp Publications who if it makes all of you cruel critics who never have done a creative thing in their lives feel any better, I got paid fuckall. As the saying goes you get what you pay for. Good show sir..Get a life sir.

For the age of sixteen it’s not bad at all. Too bad about the pay. The publisher should have done better by you.

@Whiley
What Alexandra said.
And if it makes *you* feel any better, some of us are authors or artists. We know about not getting paid. We seek refuge from our non-lives on this website, where we can cruelly critique those lovely bookcovers. And I assure you we do truly love them, otherwise we wouldn’t keep returning here, would we? By the way, it’s always great to hear from the artists themselves. Welcome!

Thinking further on it, shame on Pulp Fictions UK for exploiting child labor. “Boys Own Stories” indeed.

lol. Thank you for replying to my rudeness Alessandra we have to defend ourselves cos no one else does. Anyway I said I was sixteen when I painted this but,I submited it after realising the cheques went bouncy bouncy when I was twenty. I kinda got the last laugh.
