In the city, strange things happen. People disappear, trees sprout overnight. But no one believes in magic. No, to believe in magic would be disloyal...
Earlier this year I was given the opportunity to illustrate the covers for Australian author Lian Tanner's new trilogy The Rogues. The characters are so wonderful and the story is so unique and daring. I hope I was able to do them justice.
The book is to be released in October 2017, so keep an eye on those bookshelves!
In the mean time, here's a sneak peak of the illustration process for the first book. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
