Cover Art | BLACKBIRDS by Chuck Wendig

By Aidan Moher October 25th, 2011

Art by Joey Hi-Fi, who was also behind the great UK cover for Lauren Beukes’ Zoo City. Just awesome. Take note, publishers.

Also, I’ve gotta hand it to Angry Robot Books these days, they’re approaching Pyr Books level of consistency with their cover art these days. Great stuff.

Lovely. Instantly recognisable as Hi-Fi whilst being distinctive and fresh. I second your praise of Angry Robot in general and it is disappointing that other, bigger companies don’t take as much care.

Thanks for the compliments. I know and follow Lou Anders of Pyr, and to have my art direction compared to his is praise indeed.
