Hi everybody, it's been a long time since I've posted about book covers. In my boredom with stock images, I've been focusing on my watercolor art and would like to lean that way with original art book cover illustrations. Children's books are the obvious possibility, but I would prefer to design Cozy Mystery and Chick Lit art.
So... I'm really loving these morbid little pincushions but did I skip right over "cozy" and land on "weird" (weird being my natural tendency)? Or too cute? I see a lot of cozy mystery covers that are crowded with detailed scenery that is hard to make out at small browsing size. And my style is definitely minimalist/high focal point.
Before I go one step further, I could use some feedback. Are you attracted to this as a cozy mystery reader? As a cozy mystery author? Thanks in advance.
