William Johns
List published works: Oh wow, that’s a lot. lol. I've done over 100 covers in small
press. Some of my favorites were for
Whiskey Creek Publishing Torrid Romances http://www.whiskeycreekpress.com/store/. Those were some erotic covers. I also did covers for my buddy/writer
At
Present I am doing a cover for Apex Digest #13, which will be available at newstands everywhere in June 2008, I believe http://www.apexbookcompany.com/. I work regularly for Baen's
Universe http://www.baensuniverse.com/subguide.html
and
also Withersin magazine, which I enjoy a lot. I get to do some bizarre horror
illustrations.
List website: http://www.johnsart.150m.com I'm going to be revamping it soon. I
originally put it up just for publishers and buyers. I didn't even put metatags with it, but it still gets lots of hits.
