About a month ago I got a call from Penguin books asking if I had time to do three cover illustrations for some previously unpublisher C S Forester crime novels. But they needed them quite quickly, they said. Like by Wednesday, preferably. This was on Monday! No problem, I said. I love a challenge.
So here they are, the fastest linocuts in all time. Designed, approved and printed in two days flat. And what's more, they liked them! They are not quite finished as one of them needs a second character adding in the background but the other two have gone to proofing and I'm looking forward to seeing them in the flesh with the text added. I will post photos when I get them.
Beautiful — especially the one on top! And I's really impressed you could meet a deadline like that... I would have just had a quiet little cardiac arrest...
ReplyDeleteGreat work!
Crikey they're rather good and so quick. Will be nice to see the typographic approach they take on them for titles etc.
ReplyDeleteFantastic. They represent the genre so well.
ReplyDeleteI like them a lot!!
