Thorpe, Peter

Peter Thorpe began drawing and painting at an early age. He studied commercial art at the California College of Arts & Crafts and then moved to New York City, where he worked as an editorial and advertising illustrator. When he discovered that he also had a penchant for type design and layout, he began to specialize in book covers. He has created book covers for over 40 editions of Tony Hillerman's mysteries and the cover for Garrison Keillor's best-selling Lake Wobegon Days. The Amulet of Komondor is the first book for which Peter has created both the cover art and the interior illustrations....
