Playing dressup for The Iliad

On boingboing.net, designer Larry Knox breaks down the process of creating a cover for The Iliad, which he did right in his own living room. Knox fashioned a spear out of clay and a wooden dowel rod and took pictures of himself in warrior poses.

A link at the bottom of the article lets you see the photo shoot and separates the other pictures he used to compile the final cover.
