Juliette Toma for Rebel Girls Rock: 25 Tales of Women in Music.

Juliette Toma for Rebel Girls Rock: 25 Tales of Women in Music. (Editorial Commissions, Illustration Ltd, illustrator)

Icelandic sensation Bjork is illustrated by Juliette Toma for Rebel Girls Rock: 25 Tales of Women in Music.

The new and popular Rebel Girl's series now has the addition of a book on musical icons; inspirational women who have achieved success in this alluring industry, as a singer, songwriter or instrumentalist.

Juliette's portrait of Bjork is an electrifying illustration, with a spot-on likeness and animated composition.

The publisher says, Belt out pop anthems with Lizzo, bang on the drums with Nandi Bushell, and write country hits with Dolly Parton. The women in this book come from all around the world. They play different instruments, experiment with new sounds, and stand out in their genres. But one thing is true of them all: They rock!

In memory of the brilliant author Christopher Fowler, we would like to show his last book of the series  for the crime solving duo Bryant and Mays entitled: Peculiar London.

Christopher sadly passed in March of this year.Christopher loved the covers for all of his books in the series by the wonderfully talented Max Schindler who is represented by Artist Partners -  Max’s work managed to capture and convey so brilliantly the characters and the London backdrops so integral to the stories.
