@TWClawson thank you,
I don't take offense at all, there are plenty of great artists and designers in the world.
I'm a designer for fun and one of my favorite things about the self publishing realm is doing the covers. And that's what this serise is about, me writing, designing and publishing everything on my own. Not that I don't want others to produce art for the books, but I want to show people that it's entirely possible to write a good book, with out a major publisher.
