NEW & NOTEWORTHY
“Roderick Brydon is a consummate professional! A paragon of design! Though his portfolio and work experience and responsiveness speak for themselves, I will share a bit more! Roderick’s communication is platinum level in terms of effectiveness! He read my design brief on my book cover idea for my novel WHISTLE PUNK FALLS and before the deadline, he produced a design that exceeded what I’d envisioned. His cover design perfectly encapsulates the work’s vibe; not only does it scream “Read Me”, it’s also a work of art, layering the work’s motifs in a memorably visual way.”

THE LAST CASE
“I approached Roderick with an unconventional story and he responded with a perfectly unconventional cover. Not only did he provide something unexpected and eye catching, he also banged it out a month faster than the initial timeline. I cannot recommend his work enough and I'm eager to share it with the world.”
—SEAN DELAUDER
THE CONCEPTS
THE HIGHLIGHTER SERIES
"Roderick is an absolutely brilliant artist to work with – and full of such clever, creative, impactful cover ideas. He offers advice where needed and adds in his own incredible touches, too. It's the perfect combo of listening to the brief but taking it to a different level with his input. Highly, highly recommended!"

“As I continue editing my next novel, ‘Broken Ornaments’, and pound the keyboard writing my 90s paparazzi noir ‘Celebrity Skin’, I had an idea. Commission one of the hottest artists available to reimagine the ‘Tales from the Beach House’ Cover. Roderick Brydon @klr.covers, a fellow Brit escapee who's doing a Butch Cassidy and lying low in Central America, created this masterpiece. ‘Tales from The Beach House’ is a satirical work of fiction that sharply captures the “Man-Bites-Dog” world of South Florida.”
