About Us

With over 15 years of experience, our full-service Digital Art and Graphic Design studio specializes in cover art, design, and author branding for the publishing industry. We’ve built a reputation for bringing the characters and worlds authors envision to life—and we absolutely love doing it.

As a full-service design studio, we offer a wide range of cover art and branding services, from complete custom cover branding packages for established authors looking to level up their presence, to stock art packages tailored for authors who are just getting started.

Our work has helped numerous authors achieve New York Times and USA Today bestseller status, including Kevin Hearne, Ilona Andrews, Joe Abercrombie, Brian McClellan, Shayne Silvers, Michael Anderle, Lisa Phillips, Ella Summers, R.L. King, Teddy Harrison, Hailey Edwards, Bec McMaster, Kim Harrison, Patricia Briggs, Jenna Wolfhart, Justin Leslie, Jeff Pantanella, and Ryan Attard.

We’ve also partnered with major publishers to create cinematic covers for imprints such as Random House, Del Rey, Tor Books, Orbit Books, Bantam Books, Roc, Dutton Books, Kensington Publishing, Sourcebooks, Amazon Publishing, Simon & Schuster, HarperCollins, and Avon.

For authors with tighter budgets or faster deadlines, we’ve developed our own curated stock photography collection, featuring genres such as sci-fi, thriller, romance, epic fantasy, historical romance, urban fantasy, and paranormal fantasy.
