Day 3
David
Naughton-Shires: Artist, Illustrator, General Bad Ass
1) What is most important to you when
creating a cover for a novel for an author?
That the author is happy, yeah quite
often the idea they have just doesn’t work but it’s my job to help them realize
that and give them a viable alternative
2) When it comes to artwork as a whole,
what mediums do you prefer?
My main focus as far as work goes is
digital but for fun I like nothing more than a piece of scrap paper and a biro
and to just see what appears.
3) How does your family and friends feel
about your artistic endeavors?
They are very supportive and of course
often request that I design stuff for birthday parties and the like and my kids
often come home from school and inform me that I am to draw for example
Spider-man for one of their friends. Also there is the obvious fact it plays
part in our family income so is always appreciated when money arrives. lol!
4) What’s your favorite western?
Really like Eastwood movies both Pale
Rider and High Plains drifter. The fact you never actually know if his character
is human or supernatural is amazing; but for pure western you can’t beat The
Magnificent Seven. I first watched it at college when taking a history of
cinema class, it was show with The Seven Samurai. Somewhere I have a paper on
the comparisons.
5) If you had a chance to ride with
Dodger for a bit and help him defend the Sleipnir, would you take him up on the
offer?
Hell yeah, I am fascinated by the old
west and the added adventure of a bit of mystery sure would be fine missy.

interest lies in Horror but often tries his art and writing skill in other
areas. His main area of design work is increasingly in book cover design (he continues
