Zoli

A novel, written by Colum McCann. Cover design started with a photo. Everything else was built around it. A layer of UV lacquer goes all the way round the book jacket, with the exception of a floral pattern area (which, of course, cannot be seen above:).

Illustration Friday: Intricate

It may seem a bit repetitive, but the illustration from my previous post fits so well to this week's IF topic ... It's a scene from the book by Evald Flisar, in which Alice - together with her uncle - takes her first ride in an intricate, rattling vehicle from Crazyland.

Alica v nori deželi

Alice in Crazyland by Evald Flisar. Slovene book with the British sense of humour. Published by Vodnikova založba (DSKG) & Sodobnost International. Cover illustration and design by yours truly.

Laž in njen ženin

As usual ... I'm showing off my work. However, this witty pretty illustration is created by someone else - Ana Razpotnik Donati, a girl of great talent. I did the handwriting part.

Še odstavek naprej od onega na hrbtni strani ovitka:
"Premišljevala je in je prišla slednjič do tega konca in sklepa, da se bo omožila. Omožena ženska - tako je modrovala - ima vendarle več veljave pri ljudeh kakor samica." Fran Milčinski, kakopak. Pa založba Sanje.
