We are very happy to announce that our new illustrated book: "Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austen has been published by The Folio Society! We created the cover and 8 full-page color illustrations, medium: acrylic and digital, size 9½" x 6¼". We would love to receive your comments! Pride and Prejudice is a very famous novel by Jane Austen, first published in 1813. The story follows the main character Elizabeth Bennet the second of five daughters of a country gentleman living near the fictional town of Meryton in Hertfordshire, near London, early 19th-century England.

We illustrated the book cover of HILD, the new novel by the Lambda Literary 2013 James Duggins Outstanding Mid-Career Novelist Prize honoree Nicola Griffith,  published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux, November 2013, US. Hild, set in seventh-century Britain, is a riveting historical novel that details the ascension of one of the most powerful woman of the Middle Ages."In a time when might equals right, she is born as the second daughter of a widow in exile, and ends up being a woman to whom kings bend the knee."
