Howard David Johnson Illustrator

Last year I self-published my first novel and had very specific ideas as to what images I wanted on my covers. I searched for a freelance artist and found David’s website. Once I saw his beautiful and creative illustrations, I knew I had to talk to him about my project. David must have literally crawled inside my mind, because both illustrations he created for me were exactly what I’d envisioned. Not only did the characters come to life more vividly than my words had written them, but David was able to capture and incorporate the underlying themes in the book, layering nuances in the illustrations that I hadn’t thought to request. David is the most talented artist, and if I have other projects in the future, I will contact him without hesitation! An absolute delight to work with--the smoothest and most satisfactory portion of my entire publishing process!

I had the great fortune to discover Howard David Johnson on the Internet, though we inhabit the same wonderful city (Austin). He is a renowned artist who was able to translate my unique vision into a very creative and eye-catching cover. The quality of the work was superlative, yet the prices were quite reasonable. I thought his services represented excellent value. Throughout the project, everything was done extremely punctually and professionally.Charles Lewis
