Gary Newman – Cover for ‘Enchanted August’

Gary Newman worked with the design team at Penguin Random House to create this beautiful cover for 'Enchanted August'. Gary's chic artwork is just perfect for Brenda Bowen’s summer tale, which is based
on the 1920's classic 'Enchanted April'. We think Gary's simple graphic evokes memories of summers gone by.

Garry Walton – Channel Shore

Garry Walton was delighted to be asked to illustrate the cover of  ‘Channel Shore’ by Tom Fort. Garry worked with the design team at Simon and Schuster to create the cover art for Tom’s previous title ‘The A303 - Highway To The Sun’ and was thrilled to be asked to illustrate this next book in the series.

‘Channel Shore’ takes the reader on a fascinating, discursive journey from east to west, to find out what the English Channel means to us and what is so special about the English seaside. We love Garry’s cover illustration - it conjours up memories of lazy summer days at the beach!

Steinar Chills Out

Steinar Lund must have donned his thermals to produce this illustration for the cover of easyJet Traveller Magazine! The brief was to create a group of 'family' ice lollies with a frosty background for the June issue, Steinar says "I had to experiment with various characters to get the right family look despite a tight deadline."  Art Director Mat Wiggins said of the result; "This looks great ...! I really like the melting bit."

Frances Castle Cover Illustration for Infinite Sky

Frances Castle's beautiful cover illustration and title lettering for C.J. Flood's debut novel, Infinite Sky, is published by Simon & Schuster in February. This is a coming-of-age story about the summer that changed one girl's life as she falls in love for the very first time.
Infinite Sky is a beautifully designed hardback book, with a linen effect finish, decorated endpapers, a map and the swallow and dragonfly motifs dotted throughout the book. It's great to see the attention to detail, you'd really want it on your book shelf. Frances Castle is represented by Arena
