Re: Cover artists
I recommend to follow his Instagram account. He usually post a lot of cool stuff, which sometimes helps confirm many of his works.
Re: Cover artists
He actually includes the Thunderbirds picture in his Instagram posts, so it's definitely one of his.

Re: Cover artists
The Halls of the Things cover was by Dave De Leuw.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halls_of_the_Things
I think some of the other Crystal covers (such as The Dungeon Master, Bug Blaster, The Island, Invasion of the Body Snatchas, Cosmic Guerilla and It's the Wooluf!) were also by him, as their style matches, but I haven't been able to confirm this.

Re: Cover artists
Sometimes Mobygames is useful for finding artists.
As to Invasion for the Body Snatchas (in the credits section) it says 'artist: Dave de Leuw':
https://www.mobygames.com/game/invasi ... snatchas
Clicking on his names comes to a list of games he collaborate with, and also appears Rommels Revenge.

Re: Cover artists
The cover art for Licence to Kill is attributed to David Rowe in the archive, but it is the same as the UK movie poster. The poster is a composite of photographs and painting designed by Robin Behling. So I think David Rowe should be replaced with Robin Behling.

Re: Cover artists
Short Circuit - the background image is a retouched version of John Alvin's movie poster, with a photograph superimposed on it (I suspect by Steve Blower). So I suppose John Alvin should have a cover art credit.

Re: Cover artists
Hehe, Mobygames is a true gold mine for this topic!
And that's why I like SC database, it gives you the chance of search for additional info of every game in other DBs: WoS, Mobygames, ZX Art... with their corresponding link.
