That's a good compromise. Paul Graham did a lot of both art and CS. The book Hackers and Painters is on that subject. He even retired from both Yahoo and Y Combinator at a moment when they were doing amazing, leaving crazy money on the table, in order to do some painting. In addition, it took me a long time to track this detail down, but "ANSI Common Lisp" does not include any information about the cover art, what its name is, the artist credit, nothing. It also has no signature. Turns out the author painted it.
