Sensitive New Work from Cat O’Neil
A sensitive and empathic image from Cat O’Neil on the legal defence of migrants for RevueXXI. In her Instagram post, she discusses the important decisions that need to be made when approaching subjects like this. Is your focus to lie with the experience of the migrants, the defence lawyers, the prosecutors or should it take in the wider, often political context? We think she got the balance spot on…
Hollywood Glamour from Owen Freeman
Another brand new image from Owen Freeman. This intriguing cover illustration for Stephen Rebello’s new book Criss-Cross: The Making of Strangers on a Train tells the back story of Hitchcock’s dazzling, subversive masterpiece.

Meticulously researched and stylishly written, this book is a must for all of us who have loved the film. As ever, Owen takes the subject matter and runs with it. His drama and cinematic styling are a perfect combination for bringing us a taste of 1950s Hollywood.

Elegant Cover by Cat O’Neil
Cat O’Neil’s powerful cover for The Sky Bled by S. Hati. This elegant dystopian science fantasy novel, published by Bindery Books is set in a world steeped in otherness.

Happy Year of the Snake!
Wishing everyone a very happy Chinese New Year!

This gorgeous image by Kuri Huang for Sher Lee’s epic, Legend of the White Snake mirrors perfectly the intrigue of this heart-rendering romantacy. A retelling of a traditional Chinese folktale, the text, and the illustrations bridge the gap between the traditional and the stylishly modern.
