I am a nomadic artist born in the USA, with Canadian parents and British children. I am a visual artist of over 10 years worth of experience. On top of this I recently became a published author, so I understand the challenges and unique experience of the independent-author community.I currently live in the warm and beautiful Sonoran Desert, with my beloved family and furbabies.
I am always open for commissions of any kind!

How the Process Works
1. Contact me
Send me an email at [email protected] or use my enquiry form below.
I am happy to work with any authors regardless of first time or established in the industry!
2. We Discuss Your Vision
We can do this either through video call or email.
If you choose video:1. We go through your book, plot, characters, themes, and environment.
2. Your ideas for cover (if you have any).
3. Principles of Cover Design
4. Brainstorm session and screen share
5. Any questions you have
6. At the end of the call I can send you the final version of the "rough draft" we created while talking.If you choose email the same principles apply of back and forth questions until your vision is actualized. Once I have the "initial rough draft" idea brainstormed with your input we then proceed to the final.
3. Second Draft
After the first draft is complete, I will continue to work on the book cover until about 80% complete. Then I will send it back to you for approval. At this stage you can request minor changes to the design.
4. Final Draft
I will send a Watermarked image of the final picture for your approval. Once you approve the final image and invoice is paid in full you will receive the unwatermarked version along with any other items you purchased with the cover. (Such as logo design, profile pictures, raw psd files, Vella/Radish/Audiobook covers, teaser reveals, cropped media for sharing etc.) I am also happy to work out a payment plan.If you don't have your print planned yet for your book with the first cover that is fine too. I can always arrange to do that at a later date.By purchasing from you agree to put my name in the inside front of your book like this: Cover Graphics by Nicole Lane Art http://yourbookcover.artWhen you purchase from me you automatically get the full rights to the cover and artwork involved to use however you would like. I am able to provide a document if needed.
Watch my process:
Initial Rough Draft: Black and white and then value in the same sitting.
Final version sent for approval
Last small changes and done.
