the problem with cover art

[rm]

This week I'm doing my Gather SFF column on book cover art -- as in, why is so much of it so cheesy? But amidst my bitching, I'd also like to highlight some great artists -- so which sci-fi book covers/book cover artists do you think are fabulous?

Dave McKean's art actually fills me with painful levels of jealousy.

I like Brom a lot (see icon).

I am not sure if Zdzislaw Beksinski has graced any book covers, but his art was certainly worthy.

This icon is Zdzislaw Beksinski's work.
