PUBLISHED LONG-FORM FICTION

Long Read Illustration

A curated collection of commissioned narrative artwork created for extended fiction and editorial features.

Each composition was developed from a detailed brief, combining character, setting and atmosphere to introduce readers to an entire story in a single image.

Illustrating a Complete Story

Long Read artwork often has to establish the principal characters, period, location and emotional tone at a glance.

The compositions use a clear focal hierarchy so supporting scenes enrich the narrative without competing with the central story.

Designed for Editorial Layout

Every image is composed to reproduce clearly in print, with room for headings, captions or page furniture where required.

Period detail, atmosphere and character relationships are carefully controlled so the artwork supports the editor’s layout as well as the reader’s imagination.

Narrative Illustration Experience

For more than four decades, I have created commissioned story artwork for publishers, authors and magazines.

That experience now informs my book-cover work: clear visual hierarchy, historically grounded detail and an immediate emotional connection to the story.

“Superbly brought to life.”
