He illustrates about 15 book-covers a year, and has done the english covers for some of the best writers of fantasy today. Besides Feist his customers include Robert Jordan, Katherine Kerr and many others.

His first job in London though was doing a fantasy book-cover (does anyone know which?), and he has stuck to that line of buisness ever since. Geoff has illustrated all(as far as I know) the UK versions of Feists books. This includes both the art for the first prints in the eighties, and the new artwork for the reissues. Geoffs cover artwork has a fantastic sense of scope and atmosphere, but tend to be a bit formularic. The sheer beauty of his art, has made Geoff Taylor the favorite cover artist of many feist fans.
