Penguin/Puffin Design Awards so far...

An unfinished piece for the Puffin design award, which is to create a new book cover for James and the Giant Peach. The idea is basically based on the moment James drops his magic crocodile tongues, and they wriggle down into the soil where all the bugs are..



And here is my first attempt at the cover for One Hundred Years of Solitude, which is a bit more simplistic and grown up.

Below are two images, both of a portrait I painted from a photo by Jamie Hawkesworth - http://jamiehawkesworth.blogspot.com/

I think the polaroid is particularly interesting.
