Overview
If you’re looking to wrap your story in a gorgeous, illustrated cover, look no further. I specialize in Urban Fantasy, Epic Fantasy, Dystopian, and Young Adult Fantasy, but can lend my style and design sense to the other fiction genres without a hitch.
I'm always striving to capture the essence of a world and its characters with my work, aiming to create beautiful and lasting art whilst using my design experience to draw in readers that will truly resonate with your story.
The process begins by asking you questions about your story, then going through stages of sketching, revisions, and painting before finishing with your glorious cover as a print-ready-PDF.
My services comprise of Illustration, Cover Design, Exterior Typography, and Promotional Images for social media. I include all of them in my ‘Starter Pack’ for self-publishing authors together with some good humour along the way. 😁

Josh is a brilliant cover designer. He read my manuscript first thing, and after that it was easy to communicate on his ideas and my own. The result was the best cover I've had, by far, out of five novels.

To say that I have enjoyed my first collaboration with Mr. Griffin would be an understatement. Joshua is both highly professional and a pleasure with whom to work.

I look forward to future collaborations with the talented Mr. Griffin.

Josh is an amazing talent. Bringing the main characters to life, visually, was one of the most important collaborations of this entire project. I had an artistic style in mind as well as a specific moment from the story. Josh delivered my vision wonderfully!

In each of his drawings, he was able to really capture the scenes and the tones of the chapters and the book as a whole beautifully. I’m grateful t...
