Story-Led Book Cover Illustration

Cinematic book covers and published fiction illustration for authors and publishers.

For more than four decades, I’ve been helping bring stories to life through commissioned illustration. Today I also create cinematic book covers and narrative artwork for authors and publishers, combining atmosphere, character and visual storytelling to give every story a memorable first impression.
