I posted a little detail picture of this a while ago, but here’s the finished cover! Originally it was a bit brighter, but the author felt it needed a little darker, more melancholy feel to it and he was right. Had great fun with layers of textures! I like this style, I may play around with it a bit more often.

I’ve read some extracts, but so want to read the whole book now. Mmm book, come on publisher! Why not follow Marcus on Twitter and read all about it? (and while you are at it, you might like to follow me for updates about new projects, tea, doodles, dogs and being chased by cows)

Remember this illustration I did for the Doedemee fighting illiteracy project? Well, you can buy it if you like- all big and shiny and lovely! Some of the dosh goes to the charity, so you get pretty things for your wall and feel good as well- hurrah!

All the other posters from the project are available too and they are fab- go have a look!
Mmm books. http://www.doedemee.be/showcase/

Hey, sorry it’s been a while. I’ve been busy working away but not really doing exciting things to blog about. Tsk. Must remedy that.

In the meantime, here’s a little sneak peek at a book cover I’m working on for a friend. Will post the finished illustration soon. Ooo texturey!
