from the blog of artist M.S. Corley
he's done redesigns of book covers to look like classic penguin books, i'm not familiar enough with the spiderwick series to know if the work well or not, but the potter and lemony snicket are very good, i'm going to use them as the art work for my audio copies

Harry Potter

@djjd62,

Very cool! Lemony Snicket especially.

(I've really been enjoying all this graphic stuff you've posted lately, I like your taste.)

@sozobe,

Wow, all the Lemony Snicket ones are really good, not just graphically but thematically:

Even the apple, which seems innocuous, is perfect. Love the "Reptile Room":

I like how he incorporated the VFD eye in all of them, too (even though it isn't the VFD eye, exactly...)

@sozobe,

i noticed that some of the covers only make sense if you've read the books

the arms reaching for the boat on the half blood prince, and the baby under the bench on the deathly hallows
