Book illustrations

January 29, 2020

John illustrated over a hundred books in full or in part. A fairly comprehensive bibliography was published in his book Land Marks and Sea Wings in 2005.

Not usually signed, the artworks would be sent back once the publisher had finished with them. Sometimes these originals would be part of an exhibition accompanying the book, but eventually they would end up in a drawer in the studio. Over the years these drawers got quite full!

Now we have managed to link some of these lovely illustrations back to the books they are in. We hope you enjoy them too.
