The Book Cover

Having viewed the book cover and some of the images on this site you are probably wondering: how were these created? You would not be far wrong if I said I took creative license, but the truth is a bit deeper than that. The cover image, for example, is an actual photograph taken by Jedd Wasson (https://www.jeddspix.com/) using a drone over the San Diego coastline. The image you see on the cover is as it was taken (check it out yourself). Some of the website images are mixtures of actual photo capture, CG, CG mixed in with live capture, and of course some noodling with AI and Photoshop. No, this book is not a graphic novel, but I often toyed with making one of it. The novel is extremely visual in its telling. The ocean world is, after all, a vivid environment.
