If you have picked up any Science Fiction or Urban Fantasy series lately, chances are you have discovered the incredible artwork of Daniel Dos Santos. He has done all the covers for Patricia Briggs' Mercy Thompson and Alpha & Omega series.
Two of Dan Dos Santos's paintings have been nominated for this year's Chesley Award:
Best Paperback of 2009: Hunting Ground
Best Hardcover of 2009: Green
I am posting a collection of his Patricia Briggs covers, but if you go to his site, you can see his other amazing illustrations for book covers, trading cards, and wallpapers. You must go check his work out!

While I don't necessarily see Mercy or Anna as he has portrayed them on each of the covers, there is no denying that the covers capture the magic of the books. These illustrations are mesmerizing and I love just looking at them.
For more information on either series, be sure to visit the Patricia Briggs' website.

Yea, I will admit - those covers are kick ass - just like Mercy! I can't wait to read more! :)
@ SA - they're so cool to look at! Glad you're enjoying the series, too :)
Those covers are the only thing good about those series, lol. But they certainly do their job.
@ K + C - awww no love for Mercy?! ;)
He did the cover for my novel SOUL BORN, which comes out this NOV. I can say this, he is an incredibly nice guy and super easy to work with. I felt as if Dan understood exactly what I wanted which made it easy for me to relax through the stages of cover art creation. Everyone knows him for the Briggs works, take a look at his site, he has done all sort of other amazing pieces!
