Christian Mcgrath is the cover artist for The Dresden Files. He is retained by the publisher, Penguin/Roc (their covers always require Harry to be wearing a hat). But that particular cover was on Welcome to the Jungle, a hardcover graphic novel published by Del Rey/Dabel Brothers (who didn't require Harry in a hat).
Quote:
Illustrator Christian McGrath is an American artist best known for his work on The Dresden Files. He was born in the Bronx in 1972 and became interested in art and illustration as a small child. - Wikipedia

Well it's not quite a painting, here is an excerpt from "Interview with Chris McGrath, Cover Artist"
Quote:
What’s your general process for creating your art?
I read the notes or manuscript from the art director, then do sketches. Once a sketch is approved, I find models, costumes, and book a photo shoot (which I do myself). Then, once I have everything, I get to work at home using Photoshop and my Wacom tablet. Everything is the same as setting up a traditional oil painting, using the same methods I was taught in school.
Wheras Dan dos Santos actually paints his covers. Here's an excerpt from, "Artist Dan dos Santos describes working on his 'favorite kind of job.'"

Quote:
“Although my finished paintings are typically painted traditionally, I almost always sketch digitally, which allows me to think in terms of color and value rather than line when concepting a piece. Using Photoshop and a Wacom Tablet, I quickly came across an idea that I felt really captured the flavor of the story.

“Once this sketch was completed, submitted and approved, I began preparing for the actual painting.

The lines are blurring. Dan dos Santos stresses painting traditionally vs sketching digitally. So a painting done digitally is still a painting, but not traditionally with brush and paint. What about partially using air brush? Is it still a "painting" if some of it is airbrushed? A digital photo, that has been photoshoped with filters that could have been done in a chemical dark room (eg burning, masking, dodging) is still a photograph? Or is it not a "real photo" anymore since it is now "just photoshopped"?
