European countries continue to impress with their approach to designing Chuck Palahniuk covers.  Rather than taking a literal approach to the work, they tend towards the abstract.  Their covers are more like modern pop culture art than spoon-fed designs. A few years ago I celebrated the Czech Republic's covers for their boldness...

Now Serbia deserves a place on that mantle.  Check out their new cover for Rant, as well as their cover for Invisible Monsters:

The company behind this is FESTINA LENTE and they didn't stop there.  They also shot this strange short teaser for their Rant release as well as a gallery of fans reading the books.

For more pictures, check out their Facebook Page.

I caught this in our Twitter feed the other day and was compelled to contact the person who posted it to see a larger version.  And I'm glad I did, because this is stunning.

The artist is PC Siqueira.  You can see more of his work on his deviantArt page.

To see more original artwork by Chuck Palahniuk readers, check out our Fan Submissions Gallery.

First thing's first: No, these are not for sale.  Secondly: Why the hell not!?  If Nike can pimp Marty McFly's kicks, why shouldn't they be able to flaunt some Brandy Alexander leather?

Here's what our talented designer, 'Shane' (the Dez!gner online), had to say about his creation:

I do custom footwear and recently did a pair of Invisible Monster Womens.  Nike Air 6.0 Canvas shoes.   I uploaded a photo on Facebook and tagged it onto Chucks page. I'd be proud to have it on your fan submission site. I have no intention of selling this pair for money as it is not my original art.

Check out this awesome book cover for Invisible Monsters designed by Elyse Boutall.  This was part of an art project where Elyse had to read the book and then create a book cover illustration for it.  See a high res version of Elyse' design here.  And check out more of her work on her official site.

I have a soft spot for fan submitted artwork.  In the early days of The Cult, the largest section we hosted on the site was the Fan Submissions section.  It was loaded to the core with banners, portraits, wallpapers, and my favorite... book covers & dust jackets.  

Check out some of them in our Fan Submission Gallery.

And as always, if you have a Book Cover you designed that you'd like to submit, send it to submissions @ chuckpalahniuk. net.

In keeping with our trend of profiling some of Chuck's international book covers, this week we look at Poland.  You decide: are these covers ugly, or works of art?  Click each image to be brought to its Gallery page, then rate them and leave your comments.

To see the rest of our Book Covers, check out our Gallery.  And if you have some that are not represented there, send them to submissions@ chuckpalahniuk. net.

Props to MrMarv for sending thse along.

I don't know about you, but that's one of the most different Invisible Monsters covers I've seen yet.  Props to 'Odio' for sending these along.

Check out more of these in our Book Covers Gallery.  And as always, if you have a great international book cover for one of Chuck's books that you don't see on our site already, send them our way at Submissions @ chuckpalahniuk.net.

These were just emailed to us by a fan on Photobucket named Buh-Ran-Dee. If you're a member there, you can check out his/her profile here.

Note from designer: "plain white slip ons that i colored."

And sorry, folks.  But these aren't for sale. 

Ever wonder what Chuck's books look like in Romania? Wonder no more!
