Private Illustration Commissions

23/4/2013

0 Comments

 
Whilst I've been on a good run of illustration work since my last work update, there are periods of time when nothing happens and attracting other drawing work outside of the publishing sector is vitally important.  Private commissions are not an area I've spent much time in promoting, but I seem to be getting more enquiries in this area of late so I thought I'd display a commission I completed recently.

I was approached to produce a custom / bespoke comic a couple of months back.  The client came to me with a story and I provided some guidance for him to draft it up into a script which I was able to edit and produce the artwork for.  I then physically made it up into a comic so that it could be given as a present. Below is an anonimised version of the printed comic book.

If this is the sort of thing you might be looking for, don't hesitate to give me a shout but please note I may no

Preview of another book cover from the forthcoming children's book series 'Football Factor' I'm illustrating for Wayland Books.  Details are on amazon but not yet up on Hachette, the publisher's website (possibly because the credits on the book cover need to be changed!).

'Football Factor' Children's Book Preview

Here is the cover image (pinched from the publisher's website!) I've illustrated for 'Seeing Red', part of the Football Factor series of children's books coming out from Wayland Books this autumn/winter.  A series of six children's books written by Alan Durant, it focuses on the ups and downs of the football players of Sheldon Rovers, and is illustrated throughout by me.

I'm really enjoying working on this series as it brings back fond memories of when I was a kid, and how I began my love of drawing through reading comics such as Tiger and Roy of the Rovers.  I use to love copying the comic artists who drew Billy's Boots and Hot Shot Hamish.  Google John Gillatt's work on Billy's Boots if you get chance!

Back to work....

Franklin Watts, an imprint of Hachette Children's Books, have published an image on their website of the cover art I've produced for this title.  The children's book is written by Steve Barlow and Steve Skidmore (known as The 2 Steves) and is part of the publisher's catalogue of books aimed at reluctant readers.  It has a publication date of October 2013, and will also include interior illustrations by me!
