About Ebonstorm

Welcome to Ebonstorm Media's Cover Portfolio

I have been involved in computer information and communication technology of one sort of another for over thirty years.

For more than ten years, I was involved in the graphic arts and advertising industries working for several banks, advertisers and small publishing firms.

I have been a professional graphic artist and I am an established writer of technical publications and technical journalism. I am also an independent writer of science fiction and fantasy materials.

I am working to establish relationships with artists on deviantART in order to create a cadre of available artistic talent for cover art to be merged with advanced commercial and graphic art abilities.

My experiences include: Graphic design of print publications Commercial advertising design and layout Magazine layout using Adobe Indesign or QuarkXpress 2-color and 4-color book cover design Roleplaying gaming publications
