Book Covers
SQ Mag Digital Launch
Commissioned Illustration for SQ Mag.
The brief for this illustration was to capture a key scene from the serial sci-fi novella, 'Avoiding the Searchers' by MF Burbaugh, which will feature in all five of the issues of the magazine in 2012. The new format magazine will launch on the 1st of March with five electronic issues and a best of print anthology for the year instead of the two print issues from past years. The illustration will feature alongside the novella in all five issues.
After receiving the illustration, I was requested to submit an illustration for consideration as the cover image for the magazines May Issue. The magazine prints science fiction, fantasy and horror stories. After looking at some back issues of the magazine I thought there were plenty of sci-fi and fantasy genre covers so I decided to do an atmospheric horror illustration. It has been accepted too.

'Olivia Stone and the Trouble With Trixies' Illustrations
This illustration is of the lead up to the climax scene in the book. Olivia is standing on the west tower of the St. Giles Old Priory School, waiting for the leader of the trixies to come after her. She has a plan that might just get her out of the situation alive.
I'm working on a few illustrations from the book, mainly character sketches that I can refer to during the editing process. Plus, I like to see the characters I'm writing about.

Literature For Kids Cover Illustration
This is the cover illustration for the February 2011 issue of the new on-line children's magazine 'Literature For Kids'. The brief for the cover illustration was that the issue's theme was love and friendship. The magazine editor, Linda Jo Martin, suggested that the cover should have some children and perhaps a heart. I decided to let the children make the heart.
