TOMISLAV TOMIC: MAP FOR ROMANTASY

TOMISLAV TOMIC: MAP FOR ROMANTASY (Arena Illustration, illustrator, publishing)

 

Tomislav Tomic's atmospheric illustrated map of the Isle of Sidhe features in Riftborne, the debut romantasy from Bree Grenwich and Parker Lennox, published by Penguin - and already an instant Sunday Times bestseller.

The map gives readers a fully realised view of Fia Riftborne's rebellion-scarred world before they've reached chapter one, its intricate detail is perfectly matched to the story's tone. It's the kind of artwork that doesn't just decorate a book, it deepens it, pulling you in from the very first page.

Map illustration is one of Tomislav Tomic’s real strengths: a rare ability to combine narrative richness with striking design, turning a navigational aid into a piece of storytelling in its own right. It's a skill he has brought to projects across fantasy and adventure fiction for many publishers, and Riftborne is a compelling new addition to that body of work.

JOHN HOWE: FANTASTIC VOYAGES

JOHN HOWE: FANTASTIC VOYAGES (Arena Illustration, Events, Exhibitions, illustrator)

 

This summer, nearly 150 works; original drawings, paintings and digital pieces, go on display across three iconic heritage sites on the Guérande Peninsula in France, in an exhibition trail running from 20th June to 1st November 2026.

 

JOHN HOWE: FANTASTIC VOYAGES (Arena Illustration, Events, Exhibitions, illustrator)

 

Curated by Diane and Jean-Jacques Launier for CapAtlantique La Baule-Guérande Agglo, the show takes visitors on a journey through the central themes of John Howe’s lifetime body of work: ancient legends, mythical landscapes and fantastic worlds. At the Porte Saint-Michel, the experience takes on a different dimension after dark, when the medieval façade is transformed by a monumental projection, light and imagery conjuring a dreamlike, mythological universe from the stonework itself.

 

JOHN HOWE: FANTASTIC VOYAGES (Arena Illustration, Events, Exhibitions, illustrator)

 

For decades John Howe has been one of the foremost names in fantasy illustration, known above all as a conceptual designer on the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit film trilogies. Fantastic Voyages is a rare opportunity to experience the full breadth of that extraordinary career in one place.
