I’ve loved Jody Lee’s work since the first covers of hers I saw (probably for Mercedes Lackey).
Her understanding of classic forms, color, and decoration are peerless. She was creating stunning (and instantly identifiable) line designs long before anyone else I knew – and I invariably use her work in courses I teach about the Dos and Don’ts of Branding and Marketing for self-publishers.
She is (along with my friend Paul Komoda) the artist I most want to own a lifelong monograph of.
