Some Random Drawings From Days Of Yore: Part 1





I have been flicking through some sketch books from a few years back and I thought a few of my absent minded doodlings from back in the day deserved a public airing so here we are. More to follow.

Trapido


So I illustrated these covers for the novels of Barbara Trapido 2 years ago. I didn't read them at the time (no, I don't always read the books I design covers for). I recently picked up The Brother of the More Famous Jack (not actually pictured) and I am now completely hooked on her. Her writing is a perfect combination of highly intelligent and profound whilst still being light and comforting and sometimes laugh out loud funny. The best literary comfort reading I have come across in a long time. Enjoy...
