I used this picture for my first book’s cover as well as for my logo. Let me tell you how it came about. My friend Heidi told me about how she had taught some kids how to spray paint planets. I liked the idea and after watching several videos on the internet, I tried it. I bought posterboard and spray paints and gathered various supplies. My first attempt was a complete disaster, and it quickly fed the garbage can. This picture was my second attempt at spray painting a planet. I screwed up what I was trying to do, and I hated it. However, instead of throwing it away, I set it aside and spray painted three other planets for my book covers. I then took pictures of all of them and used Photoshop to enhance the pictures. I then took a close look at each one of those pictures. I ended up using the one I thought I’d screwed up for Freedom’s Delusion and then I repainted the other planets for Freedom’s Bondage and Freedom’s Grace. And my favorite one is this one, the one I originally hated. Go figure.
