I embarked on a freelance career after leaving Banana Republic in '86.
NY book publisher were the most receptive clients.
I would spend about five hundred dollars on promotional flyers that I would snail mail
to about a hundred publishers around the US. That would generate about enough work to keep
me busy half the year.
So for three years I did nothing but book covers.
It was great work.
Clients included:
William Morrow
Ballantine Books
Simon-Schuster
Bean Books
Benjaman Cummings
Brady Books
Random House
