I had the pleasure of working with Jamie (the Noble Artist) a few years ago when he made the cover for my book, Demon Lord Rising. He was fantastic to work with and seemed to really enjoy trying to get the cover the way I envisioned it. I found him to be incredibly skilled and reasonably priced. I can't imagine doing a book without him working on the cover.

Jamie did a fabulous design for my fantasy book cover, The Treasure of Trenalon. I had a pretty clear conception of what I wanted going in. He asked for a lot of detailed information to make sure that he understood what I wanted, and more importantly, what the right feel was for the characters, setting, and genre.
In all of our interactions, Jamie was friendly and enthusiastic. He sought input and was open to feedback every step of the way. His initial thumbnail sketch blew me away. There it was: everything I wanted. And more! He put in elements I hadn’t considered that fit the story to a T and made for a stronger image.
I asked for a few tweaks, which he quickly delivered. He knocked the final cover out of the ballpark. I also needed to brand the cover with a previous cover in the series, and he nailed that. Every step of the way, I felt his commitment to my being happy with the finished design. He also finished the job according to our timeline.
Jamie is a consummate artist and a pleasure to work with. I will definitely seek him out for my next project.

I hired The Nobel Artist to design a book cover, and a short book trailer, for me on a limited budget and relatively short time frame. He was quick with all communication throughout our time working together. The work, in my opinion, was exemplary and I will definitely be considering The Nobel Artist as my first choice for my next book cover. We had one slight delay during our project which he was honest and swift about informing me of (something unavoidable came up - not important for the review). As I said, his work is amazing and he was a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend this talented artist to everyone.

I have used Jamie for numerous corporate projects, from marketing collateral to case study production.
The reason for approaching Jamie was to have a more creative approach to the look and feel of the collateral I needed. The final product has always provided me with an increase in engagement, and the use of his graphic production in wider content sharing.
Highly recommend if you are looking for your content to stand out!

I've worked with the Noble Artist since 2015ish, and he is always reliable, and produces some wonderful artwork.
Not only does he do a fantastic job with the artwork side of projects. But on a personal level he is friendly, easy to get along with, and passionate. 🙂

When my girlfriend and me found out we were having a baby and when I told Jamie, he made a beautiful drawing of a baby, so we could surprise our families.
He also drew me the best portrait for my D&D character. I told him a little bit about him and when the portrait was finished it was like looking into a mirror and seeing Istorvir Nirinath, the ever smirking Half-Elf Bard 😊

The Noble Artist is ever expanding and a great creator of artworks for authors among others.
If you need art for your project, I highly recommend taking a look.

Absolutely stunning work
I've had the please of working with Jamie on a board game project and I must say that I absolutely stunned by his ability to take my rough sketches and concept ideas and turning it into amazingly detailed illustations, that not only fit the idea but also expands on it and makes it even greater. Furthermore he is a pleasant person to work with and I've experienced fast responses to both my initial query and later questions. Good on updating you on the proces and giving timely updates. Perfect !

“I was lucky to find this guy. He took the idea in my head and made it into art that surpassed all of my expectations. This is my first attempt at publication and Jamie was very patient with me. I strongly recommend Jamie to people who haven’t worked with an artist before, he knows his stuff and is easy to work with.“

“Talented Professional Artist. I’ve worked with Jamie a few times now, and never found him to be anything but completely professional and a joy to work with. He did an amazing job with the cover to my new book, and I look forward to working with him again in the future.

A side by side of a fantasy book cover I made for author L.A. Thompson. After the initial composition sketch of scribbles and silhouettes, I have taken the book cover to the black and white sketch stage (left) and the colour and finish stage (right).
