It looks like you used vectors for the book texture, instead of a ready brush or available texture, and I love it.

With the yellow binding, naturally.

This would fit in with me collection of DAW books rather nicely. :)

The five of pentacles was the card from you deck that really struck the deepest chord in me. I was on the edge of buying the print back when you were selling them, and then life happened (as it so often does).

But, that said, I love this re-contextualization of it, too! The little creases and book cover flaws are awesome touches. I'd probably pick this book up in a heartbeat.

That's pretty fuckin swanky.

Oh stylish vectors...

Cool. This reminds me of Saul Bass' titles. The Catch Me If You Can titles emulate the angular look as well. Nice, Egypt.

... wow. Yeah. That's vintage '60s-'70s abstract cover design, all right. The DAW cover dress makes it.

The flat colours do look something like some DAW book covers. But the subject is more in keeping with those 1950s mystery paperbacks. The '50s is too early for DAW, which only began publication in the '70s. (The initials stand for Donald A. Wolheim -- the publisher and SF fan from the 1930s.) The imprint needs to be Dell or something like that, I guess. I don't have any early mystery books (in original edition) to check. Other than that, PERFECT.

OH nice!

More than a few books looking like that on my shelves, hehehe.
And while there's little worse than sand in one's nethers, for an expression of such discomfort the poor lady must be very sandy indeed.

Wow! Great work!
