Nobody's "pefrect"

A funny thing happened while I was working on the cover for my new art book, Imperfect Things. I made a ridiculous spelling mistake and didn't catch it until after I had taken a few pictures.

I was too focused on making sure the photo was in focus and well-lit to notice. I don't think I will use the misspelled version for the cover, but I think I will put it inside the book somewhere.

This is the image I plan to use for the cover, though I am tempted to reshoot it in the daylight. I took these photos in my studio after it had already gotten dark. It wasn't even that late, but you know how the winter is. I have a feeling it might look even better with natural lighting filling it in. Pretty ironic, isn't it, to be so perfectionistic about the cover of a book called Imperfect Things?

I took some close-ups of the title. I'm not sure what I will use them for yet.

But I think that one of these would be good for an ebook cover. Well, I better stop blogging and get back to writing now. The cover needs a book to go with it!
