Bristol-based illustrator Becca has crafted a series of evocative linocuts that immerse readers in Agnes Hathaway’s world of plants, bees, and rural mysticism.

Her five full-page illustrations, along with botanical drop caps and a gilded funeral wreath on the sage linen slipcase, intertwine with Maggie O’Farrell’s poignant narrative to highlight themes of love, loss, and the natural cycle of life.

The artwork beautifully complements the edition’s tactile, screen-printed design, enhancing the reader’s experience of Shakespeare’s son through a contemporary lens of folklore-inspired imagery.

Enya has completed a year-long commission reimagining the covers of bestselling author Julie Caplin’s book collection, bringing a fresh sense of colour, warmth, and wanderlust to the series.

Each story transports readers to a different destination, and Enya’s painterly illustrations beautifully capture that spirit, from Parisian cafés to coastal retreats.

The redesigned collection not only unites Caplin’s globe-trotting tales under a cohesive visual identity but also offers readers a renewed invitation to travel the world through story and Enya's art.

Iratxe teamed up with Thames & Hudson UK to bring The Artist Box: Claude Monet vividly to life through her lively, colourful illustrations.

Designed as part of the 'Gift Lab' series, this engaging 24‑page activity kit immerses young audiences in Monet’s world. It features a 150-piece jigsaw puzzle of his Giverny garden, a fact‑filled fold‑out timeline tracing his life and personal dramas, twenty‑four creative art activities (from origami water lilies to a Monet-themed mystery), and even an iron‑on patch  - all richly illustrated by Iratxe.

Opening the box reveals not only a puzzle where you can spot Monet’s studio boat, wife Camille, and characters from his famous paintings, but also invites users to experiment with his artistic techniques via fun hands-on prompts. Iratxe’s illustrations transform educational content into a playful, tactile journey that both celebrates Monet’s legacy and encourages budding artists to explore creativity in a memorable, interactive format.
