Vintage Book Cover Art Inspiration

I have been thinking about designing something based around some vintage cover art. I have seen it done before and when done well it really looks good.

I have posted lots of similar film posters before here, but this time I thought I would concentrate of book cover art. I got a bit carried away and I could have ended up posting a lot more, maybe I will do another post sometime soon if everyone enjoys it.

Some of these are now real collectors items and can fetch upwards of £500 at auction. I seems like reading was a lot more glamorous back in the day!

Mike Giant

Mike Giant seems like a really cool guy, his comic style artwork really is amazing and as if that wasn't enough he also does graffiti and used to be a tattoo artist. He lists Thailand, Raves, BMX Bikes and Adult Bookstores among many other things in his interests, to take a look and to see more of his work click here.

For anyone lucky enough to live near him in San Fransisco his studio will be open to the public from 12-8pm every Saturday.
