This image on the cover of The White Dragon by Anne McCaffrey not only caught my eye as a teenager and introduced me to a whole new genre of books, but his art also appeals to me as an artist as well. His use of light and color are amazing, and the level of detail and complexity in his paintings is beautiful, breathing life into alien and fantastic creatures and landscapes. The depth he is able to convey in his paintings lends itself well to eye catching book covers.
