about the artist
Even before becoming an indie author, my love for the world of story was immense. Now after six years of working in the book world, that love has expanded to encompass book design inside and out, from character portraits, to book cover design, to interior design. My art style uses clean lines and bold colours, yet I often coax my work into a more whimsical, moody atmospheres. I love working on fantasy and sci-fi stories with character driven narratives, but I tend to find comfort in contemporary worlds as well. I understand the creative process from all perspectives as I’ve commissioned character art and cover design for my own stories. If you have a project on your heart that needs character art or a book you want to promote or design, I know how much joy it brings to have your stories come to life, and I would love to make that happen.

Client Testimonials
B. Joyce is amazing! I commissioned two pieces from her of my MCs from my second novel The Cosmic Divide, and she did not disappoint! I love her artwork and style and will definitely be commissioning more from her in the future!
~Abby R. Laughlin, award winning author of The Nexus Series
I’ve worked with her on multiple projects, and I’m a very satisfied repeat customer who will always recommend B. Joyce Design. She provides an exceptional experience with thoughtful attention to detail, great communication and the kind of standard and dedication to her work that lets you know you’re in good hands. As a talented artist who is also an author in her own right, she has the empathy, insight, that professionalism that make her services refreshing and invaluable.
~Montrez, Fantasy, Sci-Fi, and comic author
It's such a pleasure to work with B. Joyce, and she has drawn 5 of my characters now. From the get go, it's clear what was needed to get the process started and then all the fun came with the progress photos (it's always a joy to see those). You get honest and direct communication. I even asked her to draw an animal for me once, and she delivered. Readers adore the Ulf art so much. I can definitely recommend to work with B. Joyce.
