A weekly feature on my blog where I post up cover images that fit a weekly theme - art styles, artists, colour schemes, etc. In essence, this is a meme that celebrates book covers as pieces of art. Covers link to larger images and titles to goodreads summaries.

This week's theme: Dan Dos Santos (cover artist)
artist website | artist gallery
I've featured some of this artist's works in previous themes before, so I'll try to include ones I haven't mentioned yet for this week =)

Marla Mason Series: #1 Blood Engines | #2 Poison Sleep #3 Dead Reign | #4 Spell Games	Mercy Thompson Series: #1 Moon Called | #2 Blood Bound #3 Iron Kissed | #4 Bone Crossed
misc. favourites: Hunting Ground by Patricia Briggs | Warbreaker by Brandon Sanderson The Magician's Daughter by S.C. Butler | The Shaktra by Christopher Pike Fires of Heaven by Robert Jordan (ebook) | Spellbent by Lucy Snyder

One of the reasons I decided to buy the entire Marla Mason series (at the time books 1-3) at full price when I saw them at the bookstore was because I really loved the cover art. It's not really "refined/clean" beauty, but what I adored about it was definitely the hands. If you look at close-ups of the covers, you will see what I mean: the hands are gorgeous. The fingernails, the knuckles, the fingers themselves ♥♥♥ And by association, the arm muscles as well. I personally love hands and muscles in art because they're the hardest portions to master in my opinion. Tattoos are cool too 8D

So, which are your favourites from his gallery? =)
