Story-Led Book Cover Illustration
Cinematic book covers and published fiction illustration for authors and publishers.
For more than forty years, I’ve worked as a professional artist and illustrator, creating book covers and story-led artwork for publishers, magazines and authors.
I’ve always enjoyed finding the characters, atmosphere and small details that help bring a story to life. That same care goes into every book cover I create.
“Superbly brought to life.”

Exclusive Book Covers
Browse a growing collection of exclusive, story-led book covers for historical fiction, mystery, suspense and literary fiction. Every design is sold only once, then personalised with your title and author name.
If you would prefer a cover created especially for your book, I can design one around your story, characters and atmosphere.
