Book Covers
Front and back cover of The Book Seller at the End of the World by Ruth Shaw which I was delighted to work on for Allen & Unwin. I got to do some bonus endpapers too, such a treat. This design was one I put forward in addition to working up concepts from their scamps, was delighted how it turned out. I didn’t know they were going to use my handwriting, that was just there as placeholder, was quite a surprise when my copy turned up!
Front and back cover of Under a Big Sky by Tim Saunders and chapter spot illustrations. Another cover for the lovely Allen & Unwin, this one they wanted in a woodcut/linocut style, I’ve done a few lino and wood cuts in my time and sort of majored in printmaking at art school so even though this isn’t actually a print I was very much working in a print style, laying down tone then cutting back (erasing) back into it and having the green colour from the blue tone sitting on the yellow.
