Gene Mollica

Quote: "I'll get right to the point - this is a confession of my lifelong desire to make fantasy and paranormal images. Originally a painter (RISD grad '90), I made the switch to digital media in graduate school (School of Visual Arts '01). It was a daunting transition at first but now it's an equally obsessive process. Creating images that the authors feel translates their original vision, offering a window into that world for the reader, is as much fun as I've ever had. I work hard and work constantly to ensure that I'm always working on these otherworldly assignments. I'm a full-time illustrator living in Chelsea with my wife Bethany and our cat, Chica." ~ Gene Mollica. ~ Behind the Cover: Gene Mollica

About: I’m a photo-illustrator specializing in fantastical and otherworldly images for the entertainment industry, most frequently for book covers. Originally a painter (RISD grad ‘90), I made the switch to digital media in graduate school (School of Visual Arts ‘01). It was a daunting transition at first but now it’s an equally obsessive process. Creating images that the authors feel translates their original vision and offering a window into that world for the reader is as much fun as I’ve ever had.

My work has appeared on the covers of books by authors like L.A. Banks, Patricia Briggs, Jennifer Lee Carrell, C.S. Harris, Barb Hendee, Conn Iggulden, Caitlin Kiernan, J.F. Lewis, Richelle Mead, C.E. Murphy, Brian Ruckley, and Thomas Sniegoski among many amazing others. ~ Gene Mollica | Contact + About
