Published by Pushkin Press this month, Gaia's cover and accompanying map bring Jennifer Liss's mystery-adventure to life, drawing readers into the world of ten-year-old Meridian as she hunts for a legendary lake monster while uncovering long-buried family secrets.
Gaia's bold wrap-around cover immerses readers in a sweeping landscape of rolling hills, mountains and a glimmering lake, with Meridian herself keeping watch for the ever-elusive Wide Eye. Alongside the cover, Gaia created an intricate map of Wide Eye Lake. The work was the result of a close collaboration between Gaia, the publisher and the author, with Jennifer Liss supplying photo reference and thoughtful feedback to ensure the world felt both authentic and richly imagined. The finished cover reads as a genuine extension of the story itself - atmospheric, inviting and full of quiet mystery.

Svetlana Molodchenko crafts a spring-to-summer visual narrative across cover and edges for FairyLoot.
Svetlana was commissioned by FairyLoot to produce a dust jacket and digital edge illustrations for The Swan’s Daughter, bringing a sense of quiet enchantment to the exclusive edition.
Her approach centres on the fragile shift from spring to summer, where soft florals and light-drenched tones echo the novel’s themes of power, survival, and love. Subtle references to the text are woven throughout, giving the artwork a layered, almost heirloom quality.
Extending the imagery across the book’s edges, Svetlana turns the object itself into a continuous scene, inviting the reader to step into a suspended fairytale moment.

One of illustration's most extraordinary talents has stepped into the wizarding world again, and the results are nothing short of spellbinding. Levi brings his singular vision to the sixth fully illustrated edition of J.K. Rowling's beloved series, and the first glimpses are breathtaking.
This month we are thrilled to share a first look at Levi's illustrations for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, published by Bloomsbury. Taking up the baton from Jim Kay, Levi has made the world entirely his own - from the silver instruments of Dumbledore's office to the snow-dusted paths of Hogsmeade and the heady atmosphere of Professor Slughorn's Potions class. J.K. Rowling herself has described his work as spellbinding, and it's hard to disagree. The full edition publishes on 6th October 2026, and pre-orders are open now via Bloomsbury with 30% off and an exclusive tote bag featuring the cover.

Award-winning illustrator Richard Johnson turns the night sky into a world you can lose yourself in - and his latest commission for The Observer is a breathtaking double-page spread that hides a universe of surprises.
This month we celebrate Richard's stunning editorial work for The Observer, created in anticipation of a rare planetary alignment and in celebration of the South Downs Dark Skies Festival. The brief called for a seek-and-find puzzle tucked inside a visually spectacular spread and Richard delivered something far beyond a simple game. Readers were invited to search a luminous, star-strewn landscape for hidden treasures including a badger, a space rocket flask, a telescope and… a scotch egg! His trademark dreamlike style and luminescent colour palette transformed the commission into something genuinely transporting.
Richard Johnson's editorial illustration work spans decades of commissions for major publications, and his ability to bring warmth, wit and wonder to even the most specific of briefs is second to none. Whether crafting immersive editorial spreads or intricate visual puzzles, his work invites audiences to look closer and always rewards them for doing so.
