Joel did an amazing job. He took my rather confusing and disorganized ideas for a cover and made something great, dynamic and exciting. He is a wonderful artist. He was very responsive and gave ample opportunity for feedback and revisions so that my vision could be achieved. I would love to work with him again. Jon
