First edition of Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises, published in 1926 by Scribner's, with dust jacket illustrated by Damianakes

Cleonike Damianakes (1895-1979) was an American illustrator, especially of book dust jackets.

Damianakes was born in Berkeley, California.

She designed dust jackets for Ernest Hemingway (The Sun Also Rises and A Farewell to Arms), F. Scott Fitzgerald (All the Sad Young Men), and Zelda Fitzgerald (Save Me the Waltz). Also, Conrad Aiken and David Hamilton. She designed the cover for David Burnham's first novel This Our Exile. She designed the cover of Arthur B. Reeve's Pandora.

Her second marriage was to Ralph Wilkins, and she was later also known as Cleonike or Cleo Wilkins.

Six of her etchings are in the permanent collection of the National Gallery of Art. Her work is also in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, the Smithsonian American Art Museum and the Indianapolis Museum of Art.
