Jim Burns at the Sci-Fi and Comic Extravaganza
The organisers of the Science Fiction and Comic Extravaganza to be held in Bath, Somerset this weekend were lucky to have Jim Burns close by. He's designed their flyer and other publicity and he will also take part in the event as Guest of Honour. It's the first time that this event has been held and it promises quite a collection of art.

Jim will be selling high-quality giclee prints at the show and also will also bring the fine original paintings produced for the first edition hardbacks of George R R Martin's series, A Song of Ice and Fire. Some people are more likely to recognise the title of the first book in the series, A Game of Thrones, now such a popular TV series. Here are two of the covers. There are four in all.

19th/20th May 2012, 10am to 5pm, The Masonic Hall, Old Orchard Street, Bath.
Turkish Folk Tales
Paul Hess has illustrated a collection of Turkish Folk Tales for Frances Lincoln. Here is the cover plus some of the inside line drawings which demonstrate so well the unusual compositions and minimal line work for which Paul is so well known. More fiction illustration here, and picture books here.

Jim Kay for the Greenaway, and prints for sale
Congratulations to Jim Kay on the nomination of his illustration work for the book, A Monster Calls, for the Kate Greenaway Medal. Already nominated for many other awards and the winner of the Galaxy and Red House awards, this is exciting news. In addition to that, Patrick Ness has been nominated for the Carnegie Medal for this same remarkable book so our congratulations go to him as well. More, from Toby Clements in The Telegraph.

We now have some beautiful giclee prints for sale. Do email me if you're interested.
New illustration by Gordon Crabb
Gordon's work for both US and UK book cover publishers in the last year has been diverse and very well received. There's a good collection of new work in his illustration portfolio now, and we've also included some stock imagery as well.

He's well known for his book cover work for the mass market but there's also the potential for publishers to take advantage of his imagination when it can run free. See "Literary Fiction" for that. Also the section on Fine Art Prints.
John Harris SF originals for sale
You can now find a collection of the latest science fiction originals by John Harris. There are oil paintings, pastels and charcoal drawings for sale. Some were originally produced for book covers and some are based on his own ideas.
The Red House Children's Book Award


Nine hundred people, most of whom were children in their book groups, gathered in the Queen Elizabeth Hall yesterday for a very entertaining ceremony for the Red House Children's Book Award. All the nominated authors were asked various questions and the one which they all had to answer was about what was so important about this award in particular - and they all gave the same answer. That it was a competition judged by children and therefore it meant a lot to them.

It also meant a lot to us that the winner of the category for older readers was won by Patrick Ness and Jim Kay for A Monster Calls. In his acceptance speech Patrick was very generous in his praise of Jim for his illustrations as well as for Siobhan Dowd whose idea for the book he has so movingly brought to life.

We were even more delighted when we found that A Monster Calls had been voted the best overall, from each of the categories. Congratulations to Patrick and to Jim and to Walker Books on the most successful of collaborations. More on the awards here.
Gordon Crabb - and Farseed
Gordon Crabb worked on a new cover for Earthseed by Pamela Sargent for Tor Books last year, and has now followed up with Farseed.

More of his illustration work here.
