30 Covers, 30 Days: Day 12 http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/30-covers-30-days/threads/34240 Tim Kim I don’t know about you, but I’m hoping for a Saturday, free and clear, and ready to be filled up with at least 5000 words! Get your typing fingers at the ready, but first, take a gander at today’s cover, designed by the fantastic Chris Silas Neal: <img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_luk531RbFc1r0x68m.jpg"><strong> The Seawrack Wars</strong> by <a href="http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/participants/tomato-greens" rel="nofollow">tomato-greens</a> The first time Zee Khalil saw a mermaid scalp for sale, she was ten. Six years later, the mermaid tourist trade is the only thing standing between her small island fishing town and its absorption into one of its larger mainland neighbors. Though the town has received some negative press, Zee’s never seen a problem––mermaids are legal prey, and traps have come a long way since the first mermaids were netted. She should know; after all, her dad was one of the first fishermen to adopt and promote the new humane policies. Then his body washes up on shore, wrapped carefully in mermaid hair. All of a sudden, the town is flooded with big city reporters and the governor’s being pressured to shut them down. Someone’s not following the rules. And Zee plans on finding out who. <a href="http://redsilas.com/" rel="nofollow">Chris Silas Neal</a> is an illustrator and designer whose work has been published by a variety of magazines and publishers and, featured on television. His book jackets and posters have been recognized by the AIGA, Type Directors Club and American Illustration. His first picture book titled, “Over and Under the Snow” with author Kate Messner has just been released by Chronicle Books. He keeps a studio in an old Pencil Factory located in the Greenpoint section of Brooklyn.

It it because of the turmoil of the book subject? The lettering is so uneven that the last few letters of 'wrack' and 'wars' are not even the same size. Sometimes a cartoonish approach is perfect for story content, but I am not sure that this is the case here. The blood dribbling out of the mermaid tale is drawn so amateurishly that I am wondering if this was meant to be a scene out of the story? Maybe something the 10 year old character drew and put on her wall? Definitely not a best effort, here.
