Art Of The Book

I am delighted to say that my original book illustration artwork has found a home with the wonderful John Huddy’s Art of the Book gallery. You may remember John previously ran a marvellous gallery called The Illustration Cupboard in St James’s London. After celebrating fifty years in book illustration and surface pattern design I decided that I was ready to offer some of my original pieces and was thrilled when John accepted me in his prestigious online gallery of illustration art and rare books. The above water colour illustration was first published by Blackie and Son Ltd. “White is the Moon” became one of Blackie and Son’s best selling titles, later published in paper back by William Collins as a Picture Lions Book. It sold co-editions in the USA and in Europe. After man-years it went out of print but after many requests I decided to bring it back with the help of my former editor Martin West. You can still purchase copies of this title from my Folksy Shop Acornmoon.
