Never sorry! Great "cover story"! I take it that's your picure. You do look like someone who sometimes has a hard time saying no to a client. Kind eyes...

I went so quickly the first time that I completely missed that. I think, in this situation, the cover is okay. Keep up the great work Kirk.

I think in essence no matter what the medium (book, graphic, web, etc.) you'll find the same experience as a freelancer and honestly I wouldn't trade it for the world. Wish you continued success, I'll see if I can spot one of your covers in Borders. Cheers - melissa Absolutely love your work and the Q and A.

In my experience, doing a small gig for free often leads to paid work… I think the splash page is used properly and offers a visual reference of whats inside. But yeah, 99% of the time splash pages are just annoying. What I don’t understand is the use of flash for the main site...? Good interview.

I would only recommend that you get rid of the splash page. I'm not sure what the purpose is and it only adds and extra step before people can get at what they really came to see. I've always been fascinated with book cover design. Maybe I'll have to give it a shot sometime. Thanks for the interview. I really like the site, and your work is very impressive.
