Armenia-based illustrator Svetlana Molodchenko creates a richly detailed illuminated alphabet for e-card company Jacquie Lawson.

Jacquie Lawson –  Svetlana Molodchenko (Design Projects, Illustration Ltd, illustrator)

Svetlana was commissioned to create an intricate hand-painted alphabet inspired by the natural world. Drawing influence from 'Mira calligraphiae monumenta' and the ornate illustrations of Joris Hoefnagel, Svetlana developed each letter as its own balanced composition, pairing flora and fauna with beauty and detail.

Amaryllis, artichoke and Adonis blue butterflies appear in 'A', while camellias, chestnuts and common blue butterflies form part of 'C'.

Created entirely by hand using traditional materials and illumination techniques, the project took several months to complete, resulting in a collection that feels timeless and jewel-like.

White Mountain – Carolina Rodriguez Fuenmayor

White Mountain – Carolina Rodriguez Fuenmayor (Illustration Ltd, illustrator, publishing)

Carolina Rodriguez Fuenmayor illustrates her second book in Ruby Jean Cottle’s Black River duology, commissioned by Simon & Schuster through Atria Books.

There’s a restless feeling running through Carolina Fuenmayor’s new cover for the final instalment of the Black River duology.

Made for Atria Books ahead of the novel’s September 2026 release, the piece leans into the tension at the centre of the story: desire tangled up with fear, loyalty shadowed by secrecy.

This is vampire fiction at its most emotional -  the cover settles naturally into the darker, romantic tone that has shaped the books from the beginning.
