over design/illustration for a new novel from S. C. Lee.
I actually completed this a couple of months ago but Steven aked me to delay posting it untill a date long since past, as such its ended up in my drafts folder with a dozen other half written posts. So now at least theres one less in there.
I was quite pleased how this one turned out, sometimes less is more. That said I really much get some of these posts finished.
More details on the novel as they develop on the authors website*.
*Update. Buy The Girl who flirted with Death here
njoyed the varied and unpredictable shopfronts in Sandown, Shanklin and Ryde.
Take a look through them ‘after the jump’ as they say…
‘ve spent a fair bit of time waiting in various doctors and hospital waiting rooms over the past six months so it was easy to get into the mood of this new cover illustration for S. C. Lees short story ‘The Waiting Room.’
Find out more about the short story at the authors website* or buy the story direct from Amazon.
departure from the normal kind of thing I would do – I recently speant a day painting a poitrait of a stuffed parrot.
It was completed for a friends birthday as said parrot has spent the last year travelling the world with a variety of MG car owners on his behalf, raising some money for Weston Park Hospital along the way.
I should add the idea was inspired by the lovely toy paintings of Jennifer Maher
pologies for the lack of recent noise on here, 2011 hasn’t been particularly kind in one way and another so far but it has brought a couple of rather nice illustration jobs. Firstly there is this recent book cover for S. C. Lee and his book Alana Rose: the Edward Francis Blogs. The author had a good idea of the overall composition required which made my job a little easier and it all turned out rather well.
The story goes something like this;
This year the geek shall inherit the Earth…literally. Edward Francis is an eighteen year old, part-time, video shop employee with far-fetched dreams of becoming a famous film director. He’s shy (especially around women) misunderstood and friendless, yep, the poor guy just can’t seem to get a break, whether he’s trying to meet his favourite actress Alana Rose (who he fantasises about dating) or attempting to get the local Goth girl to notice him. One thing’s for sure, it won’t be an easy ride for your new favourite blogger. Written in the first person in the form of an online journal, Alana Rose: the Edward Francis Blogs is the journey of a British teenager, growing up in a society that he’d rather forget.
The book is currently available to buy for the Kindle at Amazon here.
