roccoart: The latest covers
http://roccoart.blogspot.com/2011/01/latest-covers.html
Monday, January 24, 2011. Here are some jpgs of more final covers for "Return to Exile" and "The Throne of Fire". The covers turned out extraordinarily well, as usual. I love how the color fits perfectly well with one another, and still have the main characters in focus. LOVE IT! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Los Angeles, California, United States.

roccoart: Happy Holidays
http://roccoart.blogspot.com/2012/12/happy-holidays.html
Sunday, December 23, 2012. To whomever is reading this.I apologize. As you can see, I have not posted anything to this blog in an embarrassingly long time. Excuses? Yes, I have plenty, but I would make a guess and say that you are not entirely interested. A cover for David Whitley's Agora Trilogy, "The Canticle of Whispers". A cover for Rick Riordan's Kane Chronicles; The Serpent's Shadow. An interior for a special edition of The Serpent's Shadow. Cover painting for the Mark of Athena by Rick Riordan.

roccoart: The Lost Hero
http://roccoart.blogspot.com/2010/06/lost-hero.html
Thursday, June 24, 2010. There has been a lot of buzz in the news. Lately about Rick Riordan's newest series, The Heroes of Olympus, and once again, I am thrilled to be a part of it. Here is the cover painting I did for the first book, The Lost Hero. Love it. Also, cant wait to know about the metallic dragon. Does the guy in the purple shirt on the cover of The Mark of Athena have a beard. My friends and I are having a huge debate about this. If you could get back to me, that would be most helpful.
