This was a piece I did for a very worthwhile charity project called ‘Project Open Book’, which sends
They’re producing a book of poems for kids and asking illustrators to produce images for each poem. This is mine.

Project OpenBook is curated by the team at MarbleSpark, makers of some pretty cool personalized children’s books.

Here’s a test I did for book cover for GMMB. And a couple of early(ish) drawings.

Cory Doctorow’s brilliant novel ‘Little Brother’ – a tale of teen rebellion against the surveillance state – is being released as a ‘Deluxe Edition’, limited to only 500 signed copies. I was lucky enough to be chosen to produce the illustrations for this great and important piece of fiction.
Cory is a activist for liberalizing copyright laws and a proponent of Creative Commons licenses. He releases all his books as free downloads as well as printed books. Inspired by this, I’ve decided to make theses illustrations available for free download.

To learn more about Cory Doctorow and ‘Little Brother’, go to Boing Boing or Craphound
To order a copy of Little Brother Deluxe Edition, go to the Harper Collins website.

A great commission from Random House, for the cover of a new release of the novel by Robert Kaplow. I lost the image of the finished cover with great design by Greg Heinimann
I’ve mocked up a version instead – the actual cover design is much better than this!!

I’ve included an early draft to give you some idea of the process.

A dream commission! A cover for Aldous Huxley’s ‘Brave New World’ for Penguin Readers.
